Can't get bluetooth to connect on Win10

Hi,

Thanks for the link. Unfortunatly none of them helped (I already have the service set to auto start, and I don't see the "more bluetooth options" in Settings)

Here is what I see:



This is what I get in the botoom right:



When I right click and tell it to start BT, I get:




Unfortunatly that is as far as it gets (it shows the notification for a bit and then closes, but BT isn't turned on / the icon doesn't go blue)

Cheers

Andy

Thanks. I think I will let my brother have a look when he is over next. Not sure I like the idea of doing an in-place upgrade repair, in case it buggers something else up (this is my work PC)

Thanks for all your help though - I'll post a soution if, and when, I find one :)

Cheers

Andy

You do not have to install any drivers for that dongle, Windows will install them. Airplane mode can affect BT if enabled. At this point I would uninstall the device and drivers and if you have to at worse case scenario, you may have to nuke the current Windows install and do a clean install to possibly fix.

If I uninstall the drivers I had, and then scan for new hardware - I get the same:


Bluetooth RFBUS
Bluetooth RFHID
Generic Bluetooth Radio

The bluetooth icon shows in the bottom right of the screen, but when you try and turn it on it just stays grey

Airplane mode is also not turned on (not sure you even have that option on a PC?)

Cheers

(just search it for Bluetooth)

Thanks. I'm on the latest Win10 updates (not sure what build version though).

I'll have a look at Tweaking.com's method when I get some time (bit caught up with work at the moment, so was hoping this driver issue would be a simple fix - so much for that lol)
