  1. Windows fails to find inbuilt bluetooth


    Recently reinstalled windows 10 home, Bluetooth hasn't been working since.


    There is no Bluetooth icon in the system tray and it can't find any devices.


    I have tried:

    • Installing manufacturers driver directly (My PC has a ROG Maximus VIII Hero Alpha motherboard with inbuilt Qualcomm Atheros Bluetooth ).
    • Launching the Windows 10 Bluetooth troubleshooter( This tells me the device doesn't support Bluetooth , which it does as it was working up until i reinstalled windows)
    • Checking the drivers in device manager - There is a 'Bluetooth device (Personal area network)' under network adapter and 'Bluetooth' under System devices but both are updated. I have tried reinstalling them.
    • Checking the services through task manager. There is a 'bthserv' - Bluetooth support service running, 'BluetoothUserService' and 'BluetoothUserService_24af5' are both there, the last one will run then stop after a short while, the first refuses to start at all.
    • Making sure the latest windows updates are installed, which they are.


    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    :)

    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

    Bluetooth in windows 10

    USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle | Networking | ASUS Global

    • Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback
    Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

    Edit2:

    @aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
