I have continued to have and probably will continue to have BT issues on my machine. I will give it a try again, bit I am not putting a lot of faith in my effort.

Of course, this is on an older laptop (only one running 133, the Dell) so its BT is flaky at best anyway)

Oh, so it was you I remembered having BT issues. Could not connect the issue with a name, until now. :)


I have tried 2 sets of BT headsets on 2 different computers and getting the same issue on all combinations. All other BT devices work flawlessly though. The issue seems to be related to devices with dual output type (both Media and Phone Audio) interfaces. The headsets, just dies after 5-10 seconds.

This is not good, since so many people use BT devices- headphones, keyboards, input devices, with computer.

I got the 17133 build on the Insiders Fast ring a couple of days ago (it works fine). I would like to stick with SCU/1803 going forward. When is the proper time to turn off Insiders? Now? After the official rollout of 1803? I believe there is a brief period around the release where you can 'get off the train'...

Now is probably a good time. You could just move to the Release Preview ring as that will be SCU until the Autumn.

Just under the settings for Timeline. You get the option Collect from PC & Sync to cloud.
The computer I upgraded this morning items have just started appearing in timeline.
Seems too want to have a little think before it starts to do things.

Yeah, I got it. But the problem I'm having with it is that instead of TL looking for the doc in the cloud, it looks for it in a particular directory from my other device, and then reports that that directory doesn't exist. So I don't get why the cloud doesn't produce it on any of my Win10 devices, instead of TL looking for the directory on my other computer??? And in some cases, docs I opened on another computer are just listed in TL, but are transparent, and will not even attempt to open. This is all very strange to me, as one of the most useful functions for TL is to be able to continue work on projects from device to device.

Yeah, seems there's something off with BT. It is always the same on any Windows version just after new release. With time it has eventually been fixed though.

I sure hope so, and wish they have fixed our BT issues.

I just checked mine, Slice, and wonder of wonders, my Logitech H800 headset works with just Solitaire (only thing I could check), but I haven't checked it with Skype yet. I'll do that this afternoon, since I need to go to the grocery store to restock the pantry.

It was my posts complaining about BT you probably remember. I've been complaining about Win10 Bluetooth for months and months. I rarely have a problem connecting a BT device, the problem is sooner or later that connection craps out. I have tested 12 BT devices, everything from speakers to headsets to keyboards, and they all connected, but later lost that connection for no reason. And under the bluetooth section, they were listed as still connected. M$ application for BT just sucks!!! They don't seem to care about fixing it also, because there are tons of complaints about it in the hub, and they've yet to even address it.

Oh, it was you! Hahaha! Glad you informed us. I wasn't paying attention when the post was made because I was on a VM, so BT does not work anyways.

Yes this BT issue suck big time and nobody with some power to do something about it, does anything.

Thanks for this! Skype and other similar apps used to have issues with audio when you use something out of the ordinary that requires rerouting of audio. Seems to work better nowadays, but still far from perfect.

Well, don't put it on the age of your laptop. I have a state of the art beast of a desktop machine that I built myself, and the BT still sucks on it. So I don't think it has anything to do with our rigs. I think M$ just doesn't seem to care about fixing this problem, even though so many devices depend on BT these days. Go figure...

Yep I have an ancient computer and an almost brand new computer, both behave the same.

...And the problem is rarely a connection problem when you're trying to connect it initially. It's the loss of connection later, while it still lists the device as being connected that is the problem. Every time one of my devices looses connection, I can reconnect it. But that's a pain in the butt if you are using something like a BT keyboard. We all need to put more complaints in the Hub, to try to force M$ to pay it the attention it needs. Cheers!

Yes, I have absolutely no issue connecting, it's just that the connection suddenly dies or does not work at all and then I'm screwed. Can't do anything BT related until I at least kill the adapter and revive it again.

I remember using another BT software stack (about 200MB in size) on an ancient laptop during Windows 7 days and it worked flawlessly. It accepted anything I threw at it, had a ton of features and never disconnected. The MS default stack never worked for me for more than a few minutes and even then not that reliably. HAHAH!
