    Bluetooth not working on ASUS laptop

    Hello,

    There are several factors that may cause this issue. To better assist you, we suggest that you answer the following questions:

    • Have you made any recent changes on your device prior to this issue?
    • Have you tried disabling and enabling the Bluetooth using the Control Panel? (Not turning off and on)
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Bluetooth troubleshooter by:

    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot.
    • Under Find and fix other problems, select Bluetooth > Run the troubleshooter.

    Looking forward to your response.

  3. Update Broke My Bluetooth - No Bluetooth Device Available - Can't find bluetooth in Device Manager

    After a random update from Windows to update my Edge browser. I completely lost my Bluetooth, my computer seemed convinced that it wasn't even compatible. I spent many hours searching for the answer and tried so many different steps. Then I found one very
    simple solution on the pcrisk blog which solved it instantly! I can't confirm if prior steps helped, but given the consecutive nature of the steps - I'd recommend taking them haha.

    The standard steps were the same as previous recommendations (none of which worked for me and seemingly for many others left in the dark) but the
    7th step was the winner! So Simple,
    let your computer drain all its battery then turn it back on.

    1. Turn Bluetooth On
    2. Re-enable Bluetooth Device
    3. Update Bluetooth Driver
    4. Run Windows Bluetooth Troubleshooter
    5. Install Bluetooth Drivers In Compatibility Mode
    6. Check The Bluetooth Support Service
    7. Unplug Your Computer

    Bluetooth Not Available. How to Fix It?

    I thought I'd share this here because I searched many of the questions and forums and couldn't find the answer.

    If someone can add this suggestion to the following topics I'm sure it would be very useful to many!

    Cannot use bluetooth device

    1 Pairing is done in Settings, Devices
    1.1 You click on Add Bluetooth or other device
    1.2 You choose Bluetooth
    1.3 If there is a pairing button on the bluetooth device itself then you press that now. You need to check the instructions for your bluetooth device to see how to do this - several automatically go into pairing mode when they switch on, others have a button that needs to be pressed for, say, 5 seconds.
    1.4 The computer detects all available bluetooth devices and you select yours from the list. If yours is not on the list then Windows could not detect it.
    1.5 It connects - pairing includes connecting
    1.6 The computer sounds a buzz in the earpiece then displays Your device is ready to go and you click on Done
    1.7 The device is shown in the devices list below the subheading Audio and it shows it as connected
    1.8 The device should also appear in Control panel, Sounds, Playback tab
    1.9 The device should also appear in Control panel, Devices & printers
    1.10 {I just paired some bluetooth earphones as I typed so I could make sure these notes were correct} You use a music player and the sound comes out of the bluetooth earphones

    2 If this is not happening for you then go to Contol panel, Devices & printers
    2.1 Right-click on the device & select Remove device
    2.2 You can now try pairing from scratch again
    2.3 Several other users have reported that only removing the device with Bluetooth command line tools - BluetoothInstaller allowed them to re-pair again [see xzion's guidance below]
    2.4 Yet others reported that only the KeithM code or Bungee's guidance worked for them [see below]

    3 Where is this all going wrong for you?
    [I assume we are definitely talking about bluetooth headphones/earphones. I understand that WiFi ones do also exist.]

    Several people registered in TenForums just to be able to thanks xzion, KeithM & Bungee. Apparently, what worked for some people did not work for others so each solution seems worth trying.
