  2. Can't rename a bluetooth device in Windows 10

    OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Pro
    Version 10.0.17134 Build 17134

    Can't rename a bluetooth device in Windows 10 by the following method:

    Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers

    (to get the above do the following... Click Start > Select Apps beginning with W > Windows System > Control Panel

    or search for Control Panel and select Control Panel Desktop App)

    Right click on a bluetooth device to rename > Properties > Connected Device Tab > Edit name in top box > Click OK > "Rename Device" Window appears with text "Renaming device failed." > Click Close > Name of device remains as it was and hasn't changed.

    Please advise how to rename a bluetooth device in Windows 10 - after you have read the above method tried?

    Please no silly "robot replies" from Microsoft. Just say step by step solution or admit it's a bug or why it's intentional.

    Many thanks in advance

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

    I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

    Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

    Windows 10 - Cannot Rename a Bluetooth Device

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    So I bought a new Bluetooth headphones the skull candy uproar since my old one isn't working. It came with only the headset and usb charging cable. The problem is I can't seem to pair it to my pc. I have windows 10 by the way. There is no Bluetooth on off button in windows settings. I went to device manager but there us no icon for Bluetooth. I did everything I knew but none of it worked.I can post pictures if anyone needs.An alternative might be a Bluetooth dongle but I m not sure I'd it would work plus I paid $50 so don't wanna spend more

    I looked up on Internet and many people seem to have issues with windows 10 and Bluetooth. I thought of asking here knowing my UK friends are smart.

    Anyone have any idea of how to get Bluetooth to work on my pc.

    PS don't curse windows 10. I already know it's a mess and not a very good os.
