Windows 10: Unable to connect Bluetooth headphones

The headphones in question are Sony WH- 520. I've used them for 4 months+/-. I've had connectivity issues a few times, but I was able to get them to work with trial-and-error troubleshooting. Those steps didn't work this time. Google found this article https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/fix-bluetooth-problems-in-windows-723e092f-03fa-858b-5c80-131ec3fba75c I was unable to proceed from there: If these initial steps are inadequate to elicit a solution, I will be glad to proceed with any suggested troubleshooting steps.

Cannot connect to bluetooth headphones after upgrade to Win10


I upgraded my Lenovo W530 running Win7 Pro 64 bit to Windows 10. After the upgrade I can no longer connect to my bluetooth headphones which worked before the upgrade. The bluetooth radio is on. When I click Connect in the Action Center it shows that the headphones are connected but they are not. The headphones (actually my hearing aids) play a notification sound when a bluetooth connection is made and I never hear that sound. If I play music the sound goes to the speaker, not my headphones. I have removed the headphones and repaired them. I have checked that all of the bluetooth device drivers are up to date in Device Manager. I would really appreciate any suggestions to solve this problem. Thanks.
