Windows 10: LG Bluetooth Speakers are Showing as "Disconnected" in Sound Control Panel

Hello,So my LG Stereo system is connected to Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth and the Bluetooth settings show that it is connected successfully, as well as it shows the same on the stereo system. But, when I go to select that audio device it does not appear in the selection box for audio options. I proceeded to open Sound Control Panel and realized the speaker system is showing up in a "Disconnected" state. I tried to see if I could make it the "Default Device" or "Default Communication Device", and it is all just grayed out. I can select connect, but when I do that, it does nothing. And after tryi

Bluetooth speakers paired but not showing in Sound - Playback

If you right click, are you set to show both Disabled Devices and Disconnected Devices?...

 

bluetooth speakers pair, show disconnected in sound control board

Greg, not a microphone problem,no permissions for mike, no mike usage.

Running the poorly named troubleshooter shows the bluetooth speaker as disconnected.

It's a blutooth,it can't be plugged in,which is the remedy the troubleshooter proposes.

All drivers checked,uninstalled,reinstalled.

Properties for bluetooth speaker show it working right.

Uninstalled windows ar2 etc, reinstalled that.

All the things so far I knew to do.

Research thru Google disclosed that Microsoft thought a security vulnerability through

bluetooth speakers,and added their "Fix"

These speakers work on my other Win10 1903's, just not this laptop.

My PLT Legend bluetooth DOES work through this laptop.

I know somewhere in the registry lurks a tick box that needs a value changed to

allow the audio to play through the bluetooth that is paired,rather than the internal speakers;

also showing up as a listed bug in other complaints for the same problem.

I've not yet seen the exe. file I can download to remove the block for bluetooth speakers easily vulnerable to malware intrusion.

Does that make more sense now?

Thanks,

Mr W
