Windows 10: Windows 10 bluetooth doesn't allow me to discover devices or make my laptop discoverable by...

Hi! I've been dealing with this inconvenience for days. I try to turn on my bluetooth to connect to my wireless earbuds but my earbuds doesn't show up as a device. My earbuds work perfectly fine with my phone, tablet, and other laptop. I also notice that my laptop's bluetooth isn't working at all because even though the bluetooth connection is on, I could not see my laptop when I scan for devices through my phone or tablet. I did everything, and I mean EVERYTHING to solve this but nothing helped. Here's a list of what I did:Updated driversInstalled Intel's driver supportSet the bluetooth drive

Bluetooth headphones not getting discovered by Windows 10 laptop

Hi,

My Bluetooth headphones (Sennheiser HD 4.04BT) is not getting discovered by my Windows 10 laptop (Asus ROG GL503GE Strix 15) despite several attempts to connect it. I have tried updating the drivers and setting the Bluetooth Support Service to automatic
after seeing queries online.

I have made sure that the headphones is in discoverable mode & ensured that no other devices is in proximity of the laptop. Moreover my phone is at least getting discovered by the laptop when I go to Find My Device, it gets connected for a few seconds then
immediately gets the 'paired' status.

The laptop has been trying to find the device for an hour with me making sure that the headphones is in discoverable mode.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

 

Bluetooth not discovering devices on MULTIPLE Windows 10 computers

Hi,

I have two Windows 10 computers: a custom-built desktop with a "Generic Bluetooth Radio" adapter, and a Lenovo Yoga 11S with a Realtek Bluetooth adapter. On BOTH of these computers, no bluetooth devices can be discovered. I'm mainly trying to get my bluetooth
headphones to connect, but Windows won't discover my phone either. There is something just wrong with the functionality.

Here's a bullet list describing my problem, I've put in bold
the items that I predict would be suggested to me otherwise:

• On my laptop, the latest manufacturer-provided bluetooth drivers are installed.
• My desktop shouldn't require additional drivers as the adapter is a Generic Bluetooth Radio.
• There are no warnings or missing devices in Device Manager.
• I have run the Hardware Troubleshooter, and it finds no issues.
• Both computers show the Bluetooth section in Settings, as well as the option in the action center.
• In Bluetooth Settings, I get a message "Your PC is searching for and can be discovered by Bluetooth devices". This message never goes away and it never actually finds any devices.
• "Allow Bluetooth devices to find this PC" is checked.
• In services.msc, I have two Bluetooth-related services (Bluetooth Support Service and Bluetooth Handsfree Service) and both are running with automatic startup.
• I have confirmed that the headphones work perfectly with another bluetooth source (e.g. my phone). It is NOT an issue with the device I'm trying to connect.

It's incredibly frustrating that Windows can't even perform this simple task across multiple computers. What can I do to make it work, or do I need to just give up on Windows forever?

 

Bluetooth isnt discoverable on W10 laptop - reinstalled drivers & confirmed discoverable on alt device.

As the title says, ive followed the SOP troubleshooting & am looking for next steps.

I am trying to connect a soundbar to my Windows 10 laptop via bluetooth. going from settings>devices>bluetooth, bluetooth is of course toggled ON & simply keeps searching, discovering nothing. I set a pair of headphones to pairing mode & left the soundbar
on pairing - both appear as discoverable on my phone, but neither show on my PC. At this pointi went ahead and uninstalled all 3 drivers, restarted my PC, clicked "show bluetooth devices" from the start menu icon, & still nothing. I even went into services.msc &
set bluetooth support services & bluetooth handsfree services to run automatically (from manual) & still, no dice.

What on earth is going on here, and what can i even try next?!

Thanks in advance,

Ian
