    lose wifi connection when enabling bluetooth. Any fix ?


    I have a brand new HP laptop that came with Windows 10 home installed on it.
    I have downloaded and applied all updates from MS.

    I use a Wi-Fi connection to my Time Warner router.
    I have everything setup and things seem to be running fine.

    Here's the deal.

    I thought I would try and use my blue tooth external speaker. (Just to see what would happen.)
    Sooooo.

    I enabled Bluetooth.
    Start\Settings\Devices\Bluetooth.
    After I move the slider (so the status reads (On), ....

    I see a message that reads "Your PC is searching for and can be discovered by Bluetooth devices".

    Two things happen:
    The "search" never seems to end.

    And I lose WI-Fi connectivity.

    I finally, move the Bluetooth slider to the "Off" position and my Wi-Fi connectivity returns.

    I "do" see my external speaker.
    And it does work. (As long as "Bluetooth" is enabled.)

    But of course, I then have no Internet connectivity and THAT becomes an issue for me.

    Any ideas or suggestions as to what I may need to do, would be greatly appreciated.

  2. Problematic Bluetooth and Camera settings on Windows Phone 7/Samsung Omnia 7

    There seems to be a bug where if wifi is enabled, bluetooth stops working reliably (if at all). This also affects bluetooth A2DP streaming. So when wifi is disabled - you lose Zune pass streaming - unless you have a good 3G signal. Not sure if Microsoft
    are working to fix this.

    I lose Bluetooth audio whenever I connect to Wifi

    Interestingly, whenever I connect to Wifi, while using my Bluetooth headphones, I lose sound but my PC shows that my Bluetooth is still connected.

    I'm using Windows 10. I've set my Wifi as a metered connection. How do I fix this? thanks...

    The first thing to do is check for driver updates, and make sure they are the correct drivers for your hardware. Bluetooth/Wireless drivers are usually downloaded as a package, so it might make sense that they effect each other.

    And THAT makes sense as well.

    I'll look into that next.

    Thanks for the advice.
