  2. Trouble Connecting To Bluetooth Device

    Hello,

    Thank you for updating us with the issue.

    I would suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the Bluetooth drivers.

    Follow these steps to uninstall and reinstall the driver:

    Step 1: Steps to uninstall the device:


    • Press Windows key
      + R to open Run.

    • Type devmgmt.msc and press
      Enter
      .

    • Locate Bluetooth Device.

    • Right click on the device and select
      Uninstall.

    • Also place a check mark beside the option
      “delete driver files for the device”.


    • Restart the computer
    Windows should automatically try to find and install the appropriate driver on restart. In case if it fails to install the driver automatically. If that didn’t work try step 2.

    Step 2: Update Driver Software from the Manufacturer’s website:

    Go to the manufacture website and search for the latest Bluetooth drivers compatible with Windows 10 available for the device model and then install.

    Hope the information helps. If you have any queries related to Windows. Feel free to post. We are here to help you.

  3. Trouble Connecting To Bluetooth Device

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

    This issue might occur if the Bluetooth service is turned off, or due to missing or incompatible Bluetooth Adapter driver or incorrect Bluetooth settings.

    Let's try these methods below and check if that helps.

    Method 1: Run
    Hardware and devices troubleshooter

    The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which will check the hardware connected to the computer for any known issues with it and provides the details and on how to fix them. Follow these steps and run the troubleshooter.

    • Press Windows key to launch the Start screen/search box.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes and click on
      Troubleshooting.
    • In the new window, click View all on the left pane.
    • In the list of options, click on Hardware and devices.
    • Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

    If issue persist, follow method 2

    Method 2:Check for the
    Bluetooth service

    I would you check if Bluetooth Support service is started.

    • Press Windows key + R
    • Type services.msc and press
      Ok
    • Find Bluetooth Support Service
    • Start it and set it as
      Automatic

    If the issue persist, follow method 3

    Method 3:Try to re-enable your Bluetooth device

    It is also possible that the Airplane mode is
    On
    of your computer.

    Airplane mode is a setting that gives you a quick way to turn off all wireless communication on your PC. As the name implies, it's especially useful when you're on an airplane.
    Wireless communication includes Wi-Fi, mobile broadband, Bluetooth, GPS or GNSS, near field communication (NFC), and all other types of wireless communication.


    Let’s check the settings.

    • Open PC Settings
    • Select Network, and then
      Airplane mode.

    If your Bluetooth device was previously paired, there should be an
    Enable Bluetooth switch. Switch it to On.

    For more information check the links below:

    Setting up a Bluetooth device in the link below

    http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-in/help/support/troubleshooting/mouse/wireless-bluetooth

    Note: These articles are for Windows 8/8.1 but steps holds good for Windows 10 too.

    After checking all these things try to send files by following the steps mentioned below and see if it helps.


    • Right-click the Bluetooth icon in the Notification Area on the desktop.

      The icon looks like the Bluetooth logo, shown in the margin. The Notification Area dwells on the far-right end of the taskbar.

    • Choose Send a File from the pop-up menu.

    • Choose your Android tablet from the list of Bluetooth devices.

      If you don’t see the tablet listed, ensure that the Bluetooth radio is on for both devices and that they’re paired.

    • Click the Next button.

    • Click the Browse button to locate files to send to the tablet.

    • Use the Browse dialog box to locate and select one or more files.

    • Click the Open button to choose the file(s).

    • Click the Next button.

      The tablet may signal a notification alert, which lets you know that a file transfer is taking place.

    • Touch the Accept button.

      If you don’t see the Accept button, choose the Bluetooth Share: Incoming File notification.

    • On the PC, touch the Finish button.

      The transfer is complete.
    • On your Android tablet, you can pull down the notifications and choose the Bluetooth Share: Received Files notification. You’ll see the Inbound Transfers screen, which lists the file(s) downloaded. Choose a file from the list to examine it using the appropriate
      app.

    • Images sent to the Android tablet from a PC can be found in the Gallery app, in the Bluetooth album.

    • Not all PCs are equipped with Bluetooth. To add Bluetooth to a PC, you need a Bluetooth adapter. Inexpensive USB Bluetooth adapters are available at most computer and office supply stores.

    Please do let us know the results. Feel free to write us back for any further assistance with Windows, we'll be glad to assist you.

    No sound as PC is connected to a bluetooth device.

    Hi Samuel,

    As per your description, I understand that there is no sound in your PC as it shows that it is currently connected to a Bluetooth device which you do not recognize.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    1. Have you connected your PC to Bluetooth speakers?

    2. Do you recognize the device that is connected to your PC?

    3. Does the Bluetooth device display under Control Panel > Devices and Printers?



    For now, I suggest that you perform the steps below and check if you will be able to remove the device in question.

    To remove the device from your PC, follow the steps below

    • Select Start > Settings > Devices >
      Bluetooth.
    • Select the paired Bluetooth device that you want to remove > Remove device >
      Yes.

    Your reply is very important to ensure that we provide the appropriate resolution. Do provide the above information so that we can proceed further.
