Hello all,
Device management is showing a "AAP Server" as a device. Its also showing a question mark.
I suspect it has something to do with Bluetooth.
In the properties it says this device is working correctly.
Is it normal to see this device? Or am i missing a driver?
NB.
Windows 10 Version 20H2 (build 19042.928)
Looks like it's an Apple device thing, as explained in this HP notebook forum post: https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebo...s/td-p/7734575. And here's a possibly related Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/airpods/com...ods_has_a_bug/
HTH,

Is that listed under "Other" in Device Manager? If so, see this post (thread) - Some entries in "Other Devices" are a mystery--can't figure them out. If so, yes, you are correct in that it's most likely to do with Bluetooth. And yes, that would be normal as that's simply showing a service a BT device is using.Hello all,

They can be removed but your BT device may complain/not work, or put them back on next use.
If it's not under "Other", than I'm not sure what's going on... would need further info from you.
This is indeed under "Other" devices. If this is debunked as a service being used while some BT device is active, then that is enough explanation for me. :)
I recently discovered this problem.
In my case, it is caused by my Beats Solo 3 Wireless Bluetooth headphones.
I just unchecked the two services in the device Properties > Services tab as described in the YouTube video below (and the HP forum thread that @EdTittel linked to above) and they disappeared from Device Manager. Everything still seems to be working for me. If at some stage I notice something amiss, I can always select them again.
Yeah, I explained all that here - Some entries in "Other Devices" are a mystery--can't figure them out
You're even using the same video I used
It was a non-answer that people seemed to be accepting.
AAP is Apple Accessory Protocol. Apple uses it for communication with its accessories. I have it on my machine because I've paired Airpod Pro 2 Bluetooth earbuds to my Windows machine. Disabling it will effectively disable the earbuds. I would expect most or all Apple Bluetooth (and possibly other) accessories to use the driver.
It's in other devices because Apple couldn't be bothered to provide a valid device category with the driver.
So you know what APP is, cool, but that in fact was not the question if you actually READ the question....
In that vein, my > answer as posted IS correct.
Thanks.
