    Multiple of the same device take up space in Settings> Bluetooth & Other devices


    Whenever I open this section of settings whilst I'm home even if I'm not connected to the same network, duplicates of the same device (android tv) appear in the other-devices section which makes it difficult to find the device I'm looking for.



    My device is a HP Spectre Pro x360 G2 running Windows 10 Pro Education edition - version 1903

    Any one know how to fix?

    Settings->Bluetooth and other devices : BCM20702A0 (?)


    At 'Settings'-> 'Bluetooth & Other devices'
    I see BCM20702A0 listed below Other devices.

    Don't know where it stands for, what it is used for.

    I am not sure whether at all this option (Bluetooth) should be enabled at all: apart from my Android tablet I have no Bluetooth devices.

    Bluetooth Driver Disappears from Device Manager and Settings/Devices

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if it helps

    Method 1: Troubleshoot

    Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Drive. Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter


    You may follow the steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue, as the device might be hidden.

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click on Device Manager.
    • Click on View.
    • Click on Show Hidden Devices.
    • Search for the Bluetooth device.
    • Right click on the Bluetooth device and click
      uninstall.


    Hope this information was helpful and do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist

    Multiple of the same device take up space in Settings> Bluetooth & Other devices

    I don't have any bluetooth devices but windows turned it on!!


    1. I have no bluetooth devices in devices manager.
    2,3,4. they all turned off before.

    reboot or shutdown doesn't solved it.
    i have USB wireless Mouse/Keyborad. i plug it out and use PS/2 but nothing.
    i used DISM to repair image.

    i tried everything but its not make any changes and windows still showing Bluetooth turned on.
    a few days ago it was not even showing Bluetooth in Action Center but i don't understand what happened, no devices added or changed in my PC, no software Installed or Uninstalled, not a single Settings Changed in Windows or BIOS!!!
