Windows 10: How do I find a connected Bluetooth device from its address?

In Settings/Bluetooth and other devices, I have a listing that is connected to my Windows 10 but has no name. All it says it is connected using LE followed by a 12-character address.How do I find out what it is? But then I have a Bluetooth keyboard that on scanning is recognized by a 6-letter I guess address but it never connects because it waits for a response and I keep pressing the Bluetooth key on the keyboard but nothing happens.I just want to take this opportunity to make a few general comments as after 40 years I have been moving away from Windows. I am trying to sort problems out bef
