Unable to Send or Receive a file using Bluetooth in Windows 10

Sharing and receiving files over Bluetooth is a little different on Windows 10.

• 
  To send or receive a file using Bluetooth, the receiving device must ready to accept the file. Simply go to
  Settings > Devices >
  Bluetooth > Send or receive files via Bluetooth, and follow the instructions on the screen. Alternatively you can select “Receive a File” to wait for a connection. On the receiving
  device, click on the Bluetooth icon in the notification area (the bottom corner of the taskbar), and select
  Receive a File.
  
• 
  Then from the sending device, you can right-click on the file itself and select
  Send to > Bluetooth Device, and follow the instructions on the screen. If the sending device is a Windows phone you simply choose the file and select
  Share > Bluetooth and select the name of the receiving device. Remember if it’s a Windows 10 PC you will need to make sure it’s set to receive per above.
  

If you still have problems please give us feedback in the new Feedback Hub under, Hardware, Devices, and Drivers > Bluetooth – File Sharing.



Thanks!

 

Bluetooth File Transfer not responding

Hi there, I am able to receive files to my PC using my PC's Bluetooth application, but experience issues when trying to transfer a file from my PC to my mobile device.

These are the steps I take:

• Activate Bluetooth on mobile device (Windows Bluetooth already active)
• Open Send a File option
• Window opens where you have the option to "Select where to send your files"
• Select relevant mobile device from the list and click Next

This is where I get stuck. It stays on this window and all that happens is, the list of devices disappear and not long after this the window says "Not Responding"

Nothing ever happens from there, so I just open up Task Manager and End the application.

Is anyone else having this issue? Thanks,
