Bluetooth software not functioning in Windows 8.1

Good Day sir/maam, i would like to ask if how could i fix my bluetooth software. I could used it before but suddenly and it also cannot search for new devices.. im using Acer Aspire E1-470. thanks for the replies :)

Hi,
Please follow these steps to uninstall the Bluetooth device:
Open Device Manager.
Expand the node that represents the type of device that you want to uninstall, right-click the device entry, and click Uninstall.
On the Confirm Device Removal dialog box, click OK to start the uninstall process.
When the uninstall process is complete, remove the device.
You might have to restart the system to make it be discovered and installed again.

Bluetooth software not working in Windows XP SP2

Not sure why but when I install the latest MacBook Pro drivers Bluetooth is not installing.
I can't see it in the Control Panel but the Device Manager has it listed as Working Properly.
No where do I see where I can setup Bluetooth devices

If you'll check out the Boot Camp Faq's, you will find this is one of several items not yet supported.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade. the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device? IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver. I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update. After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.

Thinkpad W520 Win7 Bluetooth device not recognized by Windows 7

Hello all,
Just received my Thinkpad W520 4270 CTO with bluetooth installed. It was a DOS workstation that I installed Win 7 x64 Ultimate on and I finally got all the drivers installed but the bluetooth software says there is no BT device connected to my laptop. I checked the BIOS settings and confirmed the BT is enabled. I even disabled it, saved, then enabled it to toggle. Hitting the Fn+5 combo doesn't trigger the light or any "Found New Hardware." When the laptop first boots up the BT light flashes along with the wifi light and the HDD activity light. I haven't yet been able to load another OS, but I'm downloading Arch Linux and BackTrack 5 to test to see it's possibly an OS issue.
Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful, it appears my Google-Fu has failed me as well.
EDIT: I realize the sticky about the "do not update the bluetooth drivers" but I'm not getting my bluetooth to work at all, not even being recognized by the OS as an "unknown device."
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I figured it out. It's laughably easy. Download the keyboard hotkey drivers and install them. It'll allow you to use the Functions at the top of your keyboard, then after you restart, hit Fn+F5 and you'll get a menu to enable Bluetooth on the OS, then Win7 should detect and install the drivers for it, or you can download the ones from Lenovo's site.

Windows says "device is not functioning" and "Windows does not recognize"

I lost my USB dock connector cable for my ipod. I just went out today and bought a brand new "Cygnett GrooveLink Strech Retractable USB Cable for iPod". I was pumped when I came home to finally be able to add music to my ipod again, but alas when I plug the iPod in, Windows pops up saying that the device is not functional and that Windows does not recognize it. I tried everything from rebooting the iPod to re-downloading iTunes and iPod updater. After searching this site for the past few hours, I figured I'd try and possibly find some real answers here. Please Help!!

Hey everyone,
I had the same problems all of you are having. I
just got a 5th generation video ipod. For a few
days, my computer a) wouldn't recognize it; b) froze
up when I connected it; c) mistook it for a mass
storage device ("drive E"). I bought a USB 2.0
notebook card which didn't work either and actually
seemed to make the problem worse because when I
connected the iPod to it my computer froze up.
I was very confused because my new iPod worked on my
brother's computer--which is much older than mine but
still recognized the iPod and connected to it.
Then I noticed that my brother's computer is running
an older version of the ipod software. I used his
disk to install "Ipod Updater 2005-06-26" rather than
the new version of the software on the Apple Web
site. Then I plugged my iPod into a USB 1.1 port.
To my surprise, my computer finally recognized the
iPod and is now loading music onto it. I cannot
believe this worked. I wonder if the latest version
of the software is faulty in some way.
Try it! I hope it will work for you too. You will
need an older version of the iPod updater software,
so borrow it from a friend with an older ipod.
I am having this problem also...It will work fine on the 1.1 but when i plug it into the 2.0 it has trouble recognizing it...

Bluetooth driver not working on Windows 10

Hello everyone, I upgraded my PC from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 today. Everything else is working fine but the bluetooth driver seems to be incompatible. I had the 'Mediatek (Ralink) bluetooth software driver for Windows 8.1' installed earlier, which doesn't work with Windows 10. I checked with the Ralink website and the HP driver support but didn't find anything as yet. My question is, will the driver for Windows 10 be made available soon?thanks

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 15-n010tx Notebook and issue with drivers for Bluetooth and Windows 10. Here is troubleshooting when drivers are not available yet. Have you tried in the Device Manager to update the driver that is currently installed? In the device manager try selecting find new hardware.
Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. It has a Wireless support assistant inside it that might help you. The updated drivers will be posted as available. We are seeing them update regularly. I would check back to your drivers page. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Bootcamp bluetooth mice not working in windows 7 pro

I have an early 2008 MBP and just installed Windows 7. I cannot, for the life of me, get either of my bluetooth mice to connect in Windows 7. Both worked in XP and both work in Mac OS. The install is a clean one, not an upgrade. The mice are an older Logitech MX Revolution BT mouse and a Razer Orochi. During setup, they appear to connect, but don't. On second try, the bluetooth connection window just keeps spinning while connecting to the mouse (no system or app hangs, just no activity.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, alrich68.
Just before I checked your reply, I found a VERY similar post on MacRumors with a couple more steps and clarification on why the problem exists -
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=630024

It took me two hours, but I fixed this last night.
First off, you need to go into Mac OS and remove the keyboard and mouse from your Bluetooth settings entirely. You'll add it back in later.
Boot into Windows.
Click on the Bluetooth control panel, and go to settings. Under Hardware, it probably says 'Generic Bluetooth Adapter'.
Click 'Properties' and 'Change Settings'.
Go to drivers, and 'Update Drivers'. Have Windows look on your machine to find all available drivers ('Let me pick from a list')
UNselect 'Show Compatible Drivers'.
Look for 'Apple' in the manufacturer names, then select the Apple Bluetooth Driver. Install.
Once this is done, pair your keyboard through the wizard. It should now bring up a passcode and confirm it much more quickly than before.
Once this is done, go back to Bluetooth settings and return the Drivers to 'Windows Generic'. If you leave it on the Apple drivers the keyboard will disconnect randomly and frequently.
Your keyboard will now be paired, but won't work. Go to the Device Manager, right click on the entry for the wireless keyboard.
Click on 'services'.
It should bring up a single entry for keyboard/mouse HID services. Click this and press Apply or OK. After it installs, you should be golden.
There are two issues here - one is that Mac OS seems to 'reserve' the Bluetooth device such that it won't pair correctly with any iteration of Windows while it's already paired in OSX. It works fine the other way around, however, so you need to make sure it's set up in Windows before Mac OS.
Second, there's a Bluetooth driver issue in Windows 7 such that it won't pair with the keyboard - it'll run through the steps, but the keyboard itself will not appear to actually 'get it'. Switching to the Apple drivers briefly will ameliorate this and allow proper pairing, but to actually keep the keyboard working you should use the built-in drivers.
Thanks again alrich68. Seeing the instruction worded in two slightly different manners, suddenly made sense. I now have the Mighty Mouse working as well! Work the first try!!
Chock another one up for the user base being more inventive and imaginative than the Apple engineers!!
I agree with other comments, that this solution SHOULD have been released as an official Apple Support post, and not having to rely on the user base to struggle with this problem to ultimately figure out a solution.
BTW - for those who may think apple actually reads these posts, they typically don't unless someone calls in on Apple Care and points out the problem and posts to the support tech. The forum is USER managed. So, unless someone actually calls Apple Care or sends an offical http://www.apple.com/feedback/ post, Apple does not know what happens here.
Anyway, thanks again!

Bluetooth is not working with Windows 8.1 on U410 touch

Hello,
I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.
And the bluetooth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices. While everything was working great before.
I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working
I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator all 3 are up to date.
Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.
My windows is also up to date
I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,
Thank you for your help

hi erabbath,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.
Sample picture
Let me know your findings.

Thank you very much for your answer,
I went to Control Panel > Devices and Printers and i tried to add a new device as the bluetooth doesn't appear this is what i got. By the way the bluetooth was on.

All the drivers are up to date as well as windows updates are all installed
Thanks in advance for your help

Ath5k making wireless not functional on Windows?

I used to have Windows XP and my AR5007EG worked just fine.
Then, I uninstalled it, stayed just with Arch for some time and now I am dual booting xp and arch.
The thing is: wireless is not functional anymore on XP; it's recognized and the light is blinking but it doesn't find any network (and there's something like ~30 visible from here).
I'm pretty sure this is not a driver problem, since I tried with ~10 driver versions ranging from 5.6 (2007) to 10.0 (2012) and all of them got the same result. And, well, the device used to work with this same version of Windows, with one of those drivers, and it's definitely not broken, since it works under Linux.
I was wondering if it is possible that the ath5k driver on arch is leaving my device on some kind of state/mode, such that it doesn't work properly on Windows?
I'm asking since AFAIK this device doesn't have an open specification and so I really don't trust this ath5k driver, since it was probably done by reverse engineering, I suppose.

Highly doubt it. If you really want to test, you can power down and either remove the battery if a laptop, or unplug if a desktop. Wait 60 sec or so and boot into windows to see if functional.

VN7-791G bluetooth devices not working after Windows 10 upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my 2 month old Acer VN7-791G, my Logitech bluetooth mouse could not pair, my bluetooth speakers could not pair and neither could by Nexus 7. All these devices were working fine on Win 8.1 earlier. Under Device Manager, only the generic Windows Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and LE Enumerator drivers were showing (dated 21/6/2006). Under Network adapters, the driver showing was the Qualcomm Atheros QCA64x4 ver 10.0.0.62 dated 18/5/2015. I checked that this model is indeed compatible under ACER's website for Windows 10. I have also been checking the ACER drivers for Win 10 for this model but there are no new updated ones for Bluetooth. I downloaded the Win 8.1 ones and installed them but they still would not work (the Microsoft ones are still showing under Device Manager). I had to actually downgrade back to 8.1 a few days ago due to this issue but thought I would try to update to Windows 10 again hoping it would work but still no luck. I had googled but can't seem to find a solution and suspect that I need an updated bluetooth driver for Windows 10 from Acer or Broadcom. The Atheros website do not have any Windows 10 bluetooth drivers as well. I may have to downgrade again and try again in a few months time unless someone could please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Yay! Success at last! Well, I had to resort to drastic measures which I was dreading and delaying. Basically, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Then Reset PC to Factory Setting. This wiped out all data and applications/programs After getting back to default Windows 8.1, I tried pairing my bluetooth mouse and it worked I then immediately installed Windows 10 (from ISO file downloaded earlier) off a USB stick I chose the option for a clean install (this doesn't load any of the ACER bloatware) Once logging into Windows 10,I went into Device Manager and uninstalled all Bluetooth drivers Then I ran the setup for the Windows 8.1 Atheros bluetooth drivers as suggested - "LITE-ON Bluetooth_M 3rd WiFi 2x2 AC+ BT M.2 QCA NFA344_3.0.0.373_W81x64" I tried pairing my mouse and Nexus 7 and it works!!! For reference, here is my setup under Windows 10 after successfully pairing bluetooth devices. btw, interesting to see that the event log still reports some error about further installation just like earlier - probably indicates that the Win 8.1 Acer drivers are not 100% compatible yet.

I'm the only person that needs to save the Titles?
I do it sometimes when I want to reuse a title in more than one project.
When you export out the Titles, what happens then?
Only then does it become a separate file, suitable for importing into other projects. This is NOT necessary to export your finished video, it's only necessary if you want to reuse the title in other projects.
The Titles are photos and scrolling words, that are used together as a memoriam in different projects. So having the Titles as separate files on the HD is pretty much essential.
That's more than just a title, which in PP usually contains only text. For something this complex, it might be better to create a base project or template that contains all the elements you want to reuse, and then start new projects with that, renaming to a new project name immediately after opening the template.
For example, I have an HD Wedding project that contains all my sequences, graphics and titles ready to go in organized bins. I start by opening that project and do a Save As... using the couple's last name. That way each new project starts with the elements I need and I don't have to recreate them all the time.

Dell Bluetooth 365 not detected in Windows 10 Technical Preview (Builds 10041 and 10049)

When I installed Windows 10 build 10041 on my 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop my Bluetooth 365 stopped working. On investigation I saw that Bluetooth had disappeared from Device Manager completely, but no yellow '!' was apparent anywhere. When I checked the BIOS the Bluetooth card was present. I researched the issue for a couple of hours and realised that Dell did not have a Bluetooth 365 driver for anything later than Windows 7. (That Windows 7 driver had worked in Win 8/Win 8.1). I discovered that the card is made by Broadcomm and is also used by Lenovo in some of its laptops. I downloaded the following driver from Lenovo's support site and installed it. When prompted, click the 'update software' button, and a further installation will run. If you wish, have Device Manager open and you will see the drivers and devices install.
support.lenovo.com/.../ds031759
It worked perfectly and my Bluetooth card was detected and configured and now all my Bluetooth devices work with Windows 10.
The Dell 1545 with Bluetooth is a great workhorse PC and it would have been a shame if it could not have been used with Windows 10. I hope it is not a sign of forced obsolescence by Dell, and that they will release Win 10 drivers for this venerable old laptop. It is a shame to have to go to a competitor for a driver. Judging by my web research there are many of this model still in everyday use. I trust this will be of use to other users.

There is a universal Broadcom Bluetooth Update which would cover this also:
