So I've tried to uninstall all my bluetooth devices and when I do so from the device manager, than remove them from bluetooth seetings, making sure ghost related devices are removed too, they still reappear, even if those devices are off.




Download Bluetooth For All Windows


(all simple solutions have been tested : rebooting, disconnecting, changing battery, put the devices close enough... and as I said, the keyboard is working fine on another surface which had no other bluetooth device)

using win 8-1 32bit on a asus vivotab note 8. i had the same problem for 2 days and your solution did not solve it for me (bluetooth keyboard would always reappear) however: what did solve it was first disabling the keyboard in device-manager and second do a real restart shutdown /r via execute or command line... then when it restarts the keyboard would still be on the bluetooth list in the win8.1 metro bluetoothmanager but now it can be removed from the list and reconnected and work properly

I have a Intel NUC D54250WYK. Two years ago I added an Intel Wireless-N 7260 with bluetooth card to the machine. It was running Windows 8.1 at the time. I installed the relevant drivers and both WiFi and Bluetooth parts worked fine. This week I did a fresh install of Windows 10 (an upgrade wasn't working for some reason). Out of the box the WiFi was working but Windows couldn't see the Bluetooth device. Device Manager was showing an Unknown USB Device (device Descriptor Request Failed),so I was assuming this pointed to a driver problem? The Wifi card was using a Microsoft driver.

I found this thread "Solved: Intel Wireless-AC 7260 bluetooth failed - Intel Communities" and followed the steps. I could only find one driver the bt_21.10.1_64 - the onedrive link in the thread didn't work. I don't know if that has the Wifi and/or the bluetooth driver. I can see the wifi card is still using a Microsoft driver and there is an unrecognized USB device in device manager and no bluetooth. It's like the drivers are not correct. Am I installing the correct drivers? Are there others I should use? I did try some random dell ones I found for the same card but it didn't solve the bluetooth issue. As it was working find under Windows 8.1 I don't believe its an install problem?

I discovered my BIOS was a bit out of date. I updated it, uninstalled the two drivers and reran the chipset software install. I then installed the bluetooth driver followed by the wifi driver. Still no change. It still doesn't recognize the bluetooth device.

I had an issue with adding an AC7260 to an older ASUS laptop (K550 with Win 10) with a flaky wifi card (after months of troubleshooting). Bought this card for both WIFI and bluetooth, but bluetooth wouldn't work after installing it - wifi worked fine and random disconnects appear to have disappeared.

After more troubleshooting I came across videos suggesting to cover pin 51 and pin 20 (and or pin 21) on the 7260. From what I could see those pins control whether or not the 7260 can be controlled by the laptop (i.e. I can turn off the wifi on/off my laptop with a function key, but bluetooth was never an original option on my computer so no function key for bluetooth). Reluctant to take computer apart again unless nothing else could be found, I searched for another solution.

I tried an older driver and it worked for a while (I could actually see the bluetooth icon in the lower right-hand notificatiion area) until a windows/driver update was performed, then bluetooth was gone and no install/reinstall of drivers, nor system restore, could get it to return - so much for that.

I finally came across someone who suggested booting into a live linux session (I used a live USB of linux Mint - they suggested Ubuntu). Once booted into linux, enable bluetooth, then power off the machine. Reboot into windows and suddenly the bluetooth on the 7260 is enabled and functional! I couldn't believe that would work, and gives me hope that not only can I fix it again if/when it shuts off again, but also that there has to be a command/function/program to enable the bluetooth via software and not covering or etching pins to break contacts. If I manage to find a software fix I'll update here.

I am having problems with Bluetooth on my pc not even being visible to turn off and on, it's not showing up in the device manager but if I go to & apps and features it shows there is a driver installed but nothing showing up. When I originally had my PC running on windows 11 my bluetooth was there and working since doing updates that DST has told me to do I performed the latest for my bluetooth to disappear completely.

I first of all disconnected from the internet and removed all the intel software listed above with discarding the settings (please see attached apps&features.png) I then rebooted the computer and opened device manager and removed all the wireless drivers and bluetooth drivers until they had completely disappeared and did not show up again. I then cleared all temporary files using check disk and the system temporary files too.

I then restarted my computer and attempted to install the ASUS drivers which did nothing, I then went into device manager and manually added the device driver which gave the following results (please see bluetoothinstall.png). I checked device manager and saw no bluetooth still but decided to try the wireless install which gave the following results (please see WI-FI install.png). however nothing appeared in the device manager after scanning for hardware changes still nothing so I restarted the computer.

My problem - I've running Windows 10 on my Late 2011 MBP in Bootcamp. I'd upgraded from Windows 7 where I'd been running bluetooth sucessfully. However, the Late 2011 MBP is not supported by Apple for Windows 10 though many people are using it successfully nevertheless. After some fiddling with Windows Services I got my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard working okay. However in the past little while, I noticed that I could not connect to my BT speaker or other devices. In fact, the speaker wasn't discoverable, but only on this machine. In the course of taking online advice, I deleted my Magic Mouse from Bluetooth, and then it wasn't discoverable either, and my keyboard had also dropped off for no apparent reason.

I should just add, that not only did I have Bluetooth running on Win7, but that after upgrading to Win10 that my mouse and keyboard continued to connect okay. The only problem I had was that other bluetooth devices (eg. speakers) would not. So, I started on this path to connect some speakers.

Only the Q30 headphone is the only one connected to bluetooth. I certainly have a long list of other bluetooth products, but only one can be connected at a time, so only the Q30. I just did a Windows update, including some drivers that were optional, and that improved the situation by maybe 50%, but random drop-outs are still occuring. My desktop is a pretty powerful custom build with an excellent mother board, but I believe that drivers are all updated through the Windows update process. By the way, turning on ANC does not affect the problem. It appears to all be on the processor and bluetooth end of things.

I intend to develop a binding for a bluetooth device. Eventually, the whole setup shall be deployed on a Raspberry Pi, but I plan to develop on a windows system.

So, it would be convenient to have the IDE running on windows with a working bluetooth bridge.

From serveral postings I know that there is a support for linux via bluez or bluegiga. But how is the situation with a generic bluetooth dongle on windows (specifically on windows 10)?

Any ideas?

In short, you are very welcome to help to add support for usb dongles in windows. This could be done vie extending the Bluetooth Manager with a new transport implementation that would work with generic dongles in windows.

Hello I have a Panasonic RB-HX220BEE Headset (bluetooth 5.0) and Intel AX201 built-in adapter. There is a serious problem with recording from a microphone, the recorded sound is very distorted (archive is attached). I tested this headset on different...

Hi, I have a brand new Schenker CORE 14 Laptop with a built in AX201 card. I want to pair a Jabra Talk 55 Headset with speaker and microphone, but only the speakers are connected (it only says "Musik verbunden" on my german windows). The headset...

We found we could connect the VE.Direct directly to an HC-05 Bluetooth to UART module. The module needed an AT command to set the baud rate to that of the BMV-700 and to check the correct mode was set. On windows the Bluetooth connection is set to appear as a standard COM port.

As next step create a web api so the devices cna be integrated in home-or industrial automation systems or in a cloud application. So the data can be synchronized into a cloud database. The end-users then can access the cloud data using again the browser, with all devices, independent of updates or changes on the operating systems. No more issues with the Victron App when a Mac update, a windows update or an Android update happens, because users will use the browser only.

The alternative would be to create a device that acts as a bridge between the locally bluetooth connected devices and the cloud. So you would not have to change the bluetooth enabled Victron devices to make them connect to the internet.

The idea of having "NO Windows App for the bluetooth devices" would be a disaster. You would be removing the ability for countless people to use their Windows Computers to monitor and control all their VE.Direct devices which are visible via VRM (be they Bluetooth or not).
