Bluetooth problems on Windows 10 computers are usually caused by a combination of software and hardware issues. Sometimes multiple Bluetooth devices can cause conflicts with each other and the computer they are trying to connect to. Other times, connectivity issues can be caused by the fact that the computer needs an operating system, software, or driver update. Other common causes of Windows 10 Bluetooth errors include a broken device, incorrect settings enabled or disabled in Windows 10, and even the Bluetooth device itself being disabled.
How to solve Bluetooth Problem on Windows 10
1. Configure Bluetooth Features on Windows 10 Creators Update
If there is no Bluetooth connection, you must check the Bluetooth-related settings to see if any of the configurations are disabled. If so, reactivate them to make it work.
Step 1. Turn off Airplane Mode and turn on the Bluetooth feature.
- Use the Widows Win + I shortcut keys to launch the settings.
- Go to the Network and Internet menu.
- Select the Airplane Mode tab on the left side.
- On the right side, turn off airplane mode.
- Turn on Bluetooth.
Step 2. Make sure that Bluetooth devices are turned on
- Return to the settings home page.
- Go to the Devices menu.
- Select the Bluetooth & Other Devices tab.
- On the right side, make sure Bluetooth is enabled.
- Click More Bluetooth options below.
- Check the three options and click OK.
You can also right-click the Bluetooth icon on the taskbar to try adding or showing the Bluetooth devices.
Step 3. Use Troubleshoot to repair Bluetooth not available.
- Return to the settings home page.
- Go to the Update and Security menu.
- Select the Troubleshooting tab on the right side.
- On the left side, highlight Bluetooth.
- Click the Run Troubleshooter button.
Windows 10 Creators will automatically detect and resolve Bluetooth operation issues. You can wait and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
2. Bluetooth driver
With the pilots, it’s a little tricky. If you have never downloaded and installed device-specific drivers for your system, you are probably running generic Windows drivers for Bluetooth. They may have limited your device or prevented it from working properly. Look for Bluetooth drivers specifically for your system. You will need to go to the website of the manufacturer of your laptop / desktop and search for them.
3. Pairing a device
After checking the hardware, you should check whether a device is paired or not. Sometimes the device did not connect properly. So you should do a cross-check by linking it again. To pair a device in Windows 10:
- Go to “Start”, type “Settings” and press the “Enter” key. This will open the Windows settings. Navigate to the “Devices> Bluetooth and other devices” path.
- Make sure the ‘Bluetooth’ is ‘On’ and Click on the ‘Add Bluetooth or other device’ button.
- After that, click on ‘Bluetooth’ and it will start looking for the devices.
- Connect with your device and it should be working now.
