Hello,


Why I can't find this option in Windows 10 1809. I go back to 1803 because I need this option and it's very important to me !

For the calls and emails/text messages notification issue please check under settings that the Bluetooth is turned On. The tile for the notification on the Band should be On too. Please see this

If it still does not help, I suggest you to unregister, remove the Band device from the pairing list and re-add it.

AT&T Lumia 950 pair issue with MS Band 2

Here's a set of steps that work for me on 950/950XL:

Install Microsoft Health from Store on your Phone.

Delete an existing entry (“pairing”) for your Band if it exists on the Phone.

• Go to the Settings app on Phone. Select
  Devices, and then select Bluetooth.
• If you see an entry for your Band, touch and hold on the entry to bring up a
  Delete option. Tap Delete to “unpair” this entry

Set up your Phone for pairing.

• In the Bluetooth settings page above, check and if necessary change Bluetooth
  Status to On
• Stay on the Bluetooth settings page on your Phone - this sets it up for the upcoming pairing step.

Set up your Band for pairing.

• On Band, tap on the Settings tile (the one that looks like a gear wheel), and then the Bluetooth icon.
• Tap on the current status (e.g. On) to bring up a list of options. Swipe right/left until you see
  Pairing, and tap on Pairing. The Band should now display
  Pairing as the current Bluetooth status.

Pair your Phone and Band

• Watch the Bluetooth settings page on
  Phone – the Band should eventually show up here after several seconds. If you are in a location that has many Bluetooth devices in your vicinity, you may have to scroll down a list and/or wait for generic "Accessory"
  names to be resolved to proper names. Tap on the Band name when it appears. This initiates the pairing process.
• You should now see prompts on both Phone and
  Band asking you to check that the other is displaying a numeric code. Tap on
  Accept if the codes displayed on the two are identical (this is a security check).
• On the Phone, the Band should now show as Paired.
• This successfully concludes pairing.

Set up the Microsoft Health app on Phone to work with your Band

• Start Microsoft Health on your Phone
• It should prompt you to accept a few, in particular, you should see a prompt asking you to allow the app to access your Band – make sure you accept this.
• Microsoft Health will attempt to sync data from your Band to your Microsoft Health account (in the cloud). If you see a “timed out” error on the first attempt, wait for a few seconds and let it try again.

Hope this helps
