Windows 10: Stylus for Surface Pro Laptop Not Working

I have tried establishing a connection via settings/Bluetooth and other devices/Bluetooth and when I hit add a device, it is not connecting to the stylus. Any thoughts or suggestions? I have hit the top and held it down for more than 7 seconds and it is still not connecting.

Hello Jimmy,

This doesn't list the "Surface Laptop", but you might give it a try to see.

Otherwise, you should be able to use OPTION ONE below to boot from the USB from advanced startup.

Wireless device suddenly not present - no wifi or bluetooth but Stylus is working!! on Surface pro 3

Hi

my Surface pro 3 was working fine until 08/02/19 - shut it down completely then on 09/02/19 powered up and rebooted - no wifi connection available also Bluetooth not working

on further investigation...

• no wireless adaptors present in "control panel >network and internet >Network connections
  • only ethernet adaptor (which works)
• flight mode is greyed out and cannot be enabled
• device manager shows no issues
  • I cannot see any network device with wireless in its name
  • I have rescanned for hardware !
• I have reset windows ( without deleting personal files )
• I have checked for windows updates
• re-booted many times in the hope the wireless device will suddenly be recognised as being present by the surface

The really strange thing about this is that the surface stylus is still working which is a Bluetooth device as I understand !

so it seems that the hardware wireless device in the Surface is actually working but not being recognised by some of the software

any ideas ?
