How to completely remove a Bluetooth device from Win 10?

Bart,

It just worked for me so it must have been a temporary problem.

Denis

Yes! I normally use Firefox, but now I tried it with Chrome and that works.

Thanks,

Bart

I had used IE the first time.


I've just used Firefox to download it again and it worked there too. So it might well have been a temporary server issue.

Denis

Could be. Anyway, I have the tool now!

wouldn't normally necro a thread but i spent two weeks trawling the internet trying to sort this out and this thread is pretty high up on the search rankings, hopefully can help someone.

My symptoms:
- Previously working bluetooth speaker (UE BOOM 2 in my case) stops connecting
- Windows 10 'Bluetooth and other devices' menu shows the device as Paired
- Pressing connect makes it attempt to connect but fails then it goes back to Paired
- Remove device hides the device from the menu, but as soon as you turn bluetooth on and off, or restart the computer, the device comes back
- You pull your hair out.

Solution that worked for me after much, much unsuccessful internet trawling and one system restore:
- Download this 7 year old command line bluetooth toolset: Bluetooth command line tools - work with bluetooth from the command line
- Install it, make sure you enable the option to "Add Bluetooth Command Line Tools directory to path"
- Open Powershell
- Put your device that isn't working properly into pairing mode
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING COMMAND WILL UNPAIR ALL BLUETOOTH DEVICES
- type in "btpair -u"
- Boom, all of a sudden Windows asks me if I want to allow pairing to my device that isn't working
- Hit yes, successfully connected again
- Cry tears of joy

God I hope that helps someone else.

Thank you so much. This worked!!! I've been tryin to re-pair my bluetooth controller for HOURS.

I wasn't so lucky.

I have a Logitech M590 mouse, which supports both Bluetooth and the Logitech Unifying receiver.
Unfortunately, there is no way to put it explicitly in pairing mode. I suppose it tries to pair when I switch it on.

When the mouse came new out the box, it paired quickly, no problem. Later, somehow the pairing got lost.
Since that moment, I have been unable to pair it again. Neither with the same PC, nor with an other.

A second M590 shows exactly the same behavior.

This is what prompted me to start this thread. Edit: Sorry, not this thread but another, I don't remember exactly.

I contacted Logitech, but they did not come up with a solution.

Regards,

Bart

Oh my God. You just saved my entire existence. My love for your reply burns with the intensity of a thousand suns. I made this account just to thank you for making me not pull my hair out.

oh wow, after spending God knows how long, this is the fixed! Thank you so much!
register this account just to say thanks hahaha
Guys if you have extra cash feel free to donate to the software developer.

This worked!!!! I just registered to say thank you. I've spent hours and hours working on this over weeks. My K380 was acting weird so I tried to unpair it and it got stuck in a loop, I wasn't able to remove it after so many different attempts. Agree with post above, I plan on donating to the software dev, please do as well.

Godsend. Can't thank you enough. I was on the verge of giving up. the time wasted trying to figure this out I was probably better off just buying a new headset

Edit: I also made this account just to thank you
