Coincidentally, I ran across a missing Gigabyte Bluetooth mouse yesterday, so I just tried it and it connected just like it should. In fact, I'm using it now. It's kinda small, but that's OK, because I have my Logitech mouse and wave keyboard for normal use. I just wanted to test this one to be sure it works. And it does.

Wow! I am very envious. I have no idea why BT is giving me such a hard time. I have a pretty great system, and always keep my drivers up to date. But I have read hundreds of others who are also having major problems with BT, and have been for years. So consider yourself lucky. I'm curious to ask what system are you using it on? Is it an older system, or something current? I would love to find out that I'm doing something wrong, which will fix this, and allow me to have great BT connections.

I'm considering myself lucky with this skippy version. Although had multiple problems upgrading, taking over 4½ hours to install, everything is working sweet as a nut... so far. With the exception of the clock/calendar in N. Area.

Had to get into the BIOS to find out exactly how old this computer is. It's an HP 500-056 and was Born on November 15, 2013! Get that! It must be alive, since it was born . . . The BIOS is almost as old; looks like I updated it on November 11, 2014.

Although I'd built my own computers prior to this one, I can't say I've had a more reliable one.

From the beginning of the Windows Insider program until today, I've had very few fails, although they have occurred! I can also say that I've had my share of problems with Bluetooth, especially with my Logitech h800 headset. Guess I should try that again too, since I occasionally use it with Skype or TeamViewer.

I have had no problems with the sippy or with the 17723 builds - so guess I'm just very lucky, also. Starting to look at some of the Bugbash for this round.

I get an sihost system error when I start it in safe mode. After that a black screen.

Same here but black screen can be avoided by not closing last warning.
