Bluetooth Devices will not Pair

Hi,

Hopefully this is the correct Forum !

I have a Microsoft Mouse 5000 and Wedge keyboard (the early one that does not fold).
Both have been working perfectly.

Recently I paired them both successfully with a new Samsung tablet, but when I came to use them again on my laptop,
I found that I could not pair either of them.

I have spent countless hours researching this without success.

Here's where I am now:

Settings > Bluetooth & other devices does not list either of them.
Device Manager > Bluetooth has both of them showing and reports both working properly.

Device Manager reports as follows:

Notebook Mouse 5000:
No driver files are required or have been loaded
The Events tab says that further installation is required

Wedge Mobile Keyboard:
No driver files are required or have been loaded
The Events tab says that further installation is required

The 2 Service Discovery Service entries also report that further installation is required.

Can anyone suggest the way forward, please ?

Regards.

Cannot use bluetooth device

1 pairing is done in settings, devices
1.1 you click on add bluetooth or other device
1.2 you choose bluetooth
1.3 if there is a pairing button on the bluetooth device itself then you press that now. You need to check the instructions for your bluetooth device to see how to do this - several automatically go into pairing mode when they switch on, others have a button that needs to be pressed for, say, 5 seconds.
1.4 the computer detects all available bluetooth devices and you select yours from the list. If yours is not on the list then windows could not detect it.
1.5 it connects - pairing includes connecting
1.6 the computer sounds a buzz in the earpiece then displays your device is ready to go and you click on done
1.7 the device is shown in the devices list below the subheading audio and it shows it as connected
1.8 the device should also appear in control panel, sounds, playback tab
1.9 the device should also appear in control panel, devices & printers
1.10 {i just paired some bluetooth earphones as i typed so i could make sure these notes were correct} you use a music player and the sound comes out of the bluetooth earphones

2 if this is not happening for you then go to contol panel, devices & printers
2.1 right-click on the device & select remove device
2.2 you can now try pairing from scratch again
2.3 several other users have reported that only removing the device with bluetooth command line tools - bluetoothinstaller allowed them to re-pair again [see xzion's guidance below]
2.4 yet others reported that only the keithm code or bungee's guidance worked for them [see below]

3 where is this all going wrong for you?
[i assume we are definitely talking about bluetooth headphones/earphones. I understand that wifi ones do also exist.]

yes it's the bluetooth earphone

wrapping it up, there is no way to choose the bluetooth device for playback as this option does not show anywhere (not in the taskbar, not in control panel "sounds" "playback option". I've been wondering if the fact that i have an internal sound card (not the motherboard device) has to do with this situation.
I've never been able to use a bluetooth device. Just to let you know with my dell laptop i did the whole procedure in 5 minutes and it worked perfectly.
