    laptop Bluetooth pairs with cellphone and earbuds but will not connect to them

    The problem: my laptop's Bluetooth pairs with my cellphone and my earbuds but will not connect to them.

    Devices: HP Pavilion laptop running Windows 10 Home w/ the latest updates
    Moto G Power (2021) cellphone, Android v11
    Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro earbuds w/ the latest firmware
    Soundcore app (Android)

    The phone has no trouble connecting to the earbuds, but:

    -- The laptop's Bluetooth says it's paired with both the Moto G and the Liberty 3 earbuds, it won't connect to them. Windows' Device Manager does have both the phone and the earbuds listed under "Bluetooth."

    -- The Moto's Bluetooth lists the laptop as "Previously connected" but when I try to re-connect there's a brief flash of "Connecting" then goes back to paired-but-not-connected. It will do this over and over. The same thing happens when I try to connect the earbuds to the laptop directly from the phone.

    -- If I try to connect via the Soundcore app, using "Add device," the app searches but doesn't find the laptop. When I select "Set up manually" from the app's "Don't see your device?" screen, I get a list of other headphone and speaker, but not PCs. "Don't see your device?" on that screen says that the app only supports the devices on the list. But I assume that this won't matter if I can get the laptop connected directly to the earbuds.

    So:
    -- Why does the laptop refuse to connect to the phone or the earbuds that it's paired with? Why does the phone refuse to connect with the laptop?

    -- Things I've tried, after looking at lots of online suggestions (none of them have worked):

    : Removing the phone and the earbuds from the laptop's Bluetooth and re-pairing them again.

    : Restarting the laptop and the phone, and turning them off and then on again, separately and together.

    : Turning Bluetooth off and then on again, separately for the laptop and the phone and together for the two devices.

    : Making sure that the laptop's Bluetooth Support Service is running and is set on Automatic Startup and Bluetooth user Support Service is set on Manual (Trigger Start).

    : Checking the laptop's Bluetooth driver; Windows says it has the latest driver.

    : Running Windows' Bluetooth troubleshooter.

    Suggestions?

    Thanks --

    I'm also sending this request to HP, Motorola, & Soundcore tech support.

    Password of laptop wifi on cellphone

    Hello. I want to connect to:

    - my Laptop Lenovo with Windows 10 Home

    - from Galaxy A20 to project the something

    I started to see the devices from "Connect App" on Laptop

    and from my cell to see the Laptop in the list of wi-fi available.

    When I try to connect from cell to laptop (by wi-fi) it askes the password.

    Where do I get this password in my Windows. I have no password to login. Or is it something else.

    Thank you
