    Windows 10 Bluetooth pairing issue

    So, to keep it short: Suddenly my Windows 10 Bluetooth won't pair anything. I've tried multiple devices and every time I hit the "Pair" button, a minute goes by and I get an error:

    or

    Yeah, I'm trying to connect my PS4 DS4 controller to my Windows computer with Bluetooth. At first it worked like a charm, using the DS4Windows Software. The software installs an Virtual Bus Driver, which may be removed afterwards. That did not help me after my pairing problem occurred.

    I suspect something is wrong with the Bluetooth Support Service, as it is this service responsible for the pairing part.

    I've changed updated drivers, rolled back. Rolled back windows. Wiped drivers. Tried Generic Bluetooth drivers. Nothing.

    Thing is, pairing worked a couple of days ago.

    Any suggestions?

    Relevant specs:

    • MSI Z170A GAMING M9
    • Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth 4.1

    I can't pair my ps4 controller since 1703 update

    • Is your PS4 controller compatible with the updated Windows 10?
    I don't know, but before the update everything is working fine.

    • Have you tried using a different controller and still got the same result?
    No.

    • Have you also tried connecting a different Bluetooth device and still failed to work?
    No.

    • Are you receiving an error message when trying to connect your PS4 controller? If yes, what is the error message you're receiving?
    None. I don't receive any error message. When I plugged the bluetooth to my pc then try to pair my controller the light will blink and stays on a solid color (that means it was connected) then after a seconds the light will turn off
    and my controller will not work but when I look into settings in bluetooth device it shows that my controller is still connected but it's not working.

    Ps4 Bluetooth won’t discover and connect while pairing

    Can't select paired bluetooth speaker as sound output (Windows 10)

    I just got a new bluetooth speaker, an Urbanears Stammen (concrete grey)

    I can connect to it from my phone, using Bluetooth, and play back sound no problem. But I can't get my Windows 10 laptop (Dell XPS 15) to use it as a playback device.

    I can connect and pair to it no problem, as you see in the screenshot below

    It also shows up under bluetooth in the device manager. It's not listed under "Audio inputs and outputs", which I thought it should be, but I can see it under "Sound, video and game controllers".

    And I tried the suggested steps listed there, but nothing helped Ps4 Bluetooth won’t discover and connect while pairing :(

    Any further ideas I could try?
