Windows 10: Sony heaphones not working

I have had a pair of MDR-XB650BT headphones for a little over a year now, and have been using them on my laptop without a problem until this week. Because they weren't registering on my iphone's devices list, I tried forgetting the device on my windows 10 Lenovo laptop, but now they won't show up on my computer's search for new devices list, and when they do, they immediately disappear or just say they can't connect to the computer. Is there any way I can fix this? I tried going on the devices list and letting disabled devices show up.

Sony Sound Forge 7 won't open since Windows 10 upgrade

Tried to open my registered Sony Sound Forge 7 software program today and realized that since Windows 10 upgrade, like some other software programs affected, this one won't open.

(1) Tried some of the suggestions in regedit but didn't see all of the Sony entries listed in the steps

(2) Tried opening with "run as administrator" - didn't work.

Any suggestions?

 

Sony OptiArc AD7240 not seen

Banger:
Thanks for the suggestion.
The problem is that Device Manager does not list the drive at all. To make matters more complicated-the only way the drive works is to put the W10 disc in and do an install; once the disc is removed (hours later, btw) the drive will not appear in Device Manager. This is likely an interface issue that both Sony and Microsoft never resolved as to the 7240, which is just fine in W7.

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
