We would suggest you to try uninstalling the drivers completely from the computer and reinstalling it from the computer manufacturer website. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows key + X, and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Expand Bluetooth.
   
3. Right click on Intel Wireless Bluetooth device and select
   Uninstall device.
   
4. Now, select the checkbox for Delete the driver software for this device.
   
5. Download the drivers from computer manufacturer’s website and install them.
   

Let us know the results.

Bluetooth not showing devices, won't connect new devices

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, Version 22H2.

I'm on a laptop using the built-in Intel Wireless chip, which also comes with Bluetooth. I'm using one Bluetooth device - a headset, Jabra Evolve 65 - every day without issues.

Now I acquired another Bluetooth device - a game controller - and I cannot get the PC to detect it. My Android phone finds and connects to both the old headset and the new controller, so the peripheral devices shouldn't be at fault. After an extended online research, I found that something more fundamental is off with my Bluetooth - there seems to usually be a list of devices, both paired and "foreign, but detected", that is just missing from my interface.

I cannot be sure, but that list might just be missing ever since, I never paid attention. The Bluetooth on/off toggle works as intended, my headset disconnects and reconnects as expected. By the way, the "printer and devices" window is also empty, even though I do have a printer, mouse and keyboard up and running (and showing in device manager). The issues seem related, according to online searches. Windows Update is up to date and so is the Bluetooth driver, according to device manager. I removed every Bluetooth-related entry from device manager and restarted, they showed up again as per screenshot (automatically re-installed on restart, I reckon). I completed both an SFC scan and a DISM scan. I checked services.msc and both the Bluetooth and the printer spooler services are up and running. The issue persists. Any ideas?

 

Latest Intel Wireless Bluetooth Driver for Windows 10

Hello teots, *Smile

A lot of times the driver will automatically update via Windows Update.

If your Bluetooth device is on the supported product list and you don't have the latest driver version installed yet, then you could download and run the .exe file from Intel in the first post in this thread to install the driver.
