Firstdo not rely on windows to update your bluetooth driver. Find out what bluetooth card or chip your computer is using and go to that manufacturers website to get their latest updated driver. Once installed it should work.

At Soundcore we know that music is an integral part of your life. But, what does it really take to make it in the music industry, let alone create a song? From creative artists and audio engineers, through to the masterminds of music streaming, they...


If you connected to newer first you have to reboot the buds before connecting to older. As the buds default to connecting to last connected first means you have to turn Bluetooth off of last connected.


You need to disconnect and forget the Neo from the Windows 10 laptop. To connect Bluetooth devices to Zwift it should NOT be connected to any other device or app (including your laptop) before opening Zwift.


I have been having these issues as well but yesterday the BLE connection from the PC to the smart trainer worked actually worked. I am not sure if there was another update from microsoft or zwift but everything seem to connect. The only thing that seems off is that there is no option to calibrate the trainer.


I did this, too, before finding this post, but wanted to know what others were doing. My iPhone has never had a problem locating bluetooth devices, unlike zwift + windows.

I was disabling every blutooth device I could find and still having connection issues (keeps finding and losing devices in zwift), so I switched my bluetooth back ON on my phone. Then on zwift in windows, from the options on the top right of the pairing screen, I selected to use zwift companion. Everything popped up perfectly and stayed on. I think between windows and zwift there are a lot of random issues. Not to mention the time a windows auto update took out my bluetooth halfway through a ride until I restarted windowzzzz.


The problem is mainly because the drivers provided by vendor does not support windows 10 (this happens if you have migrated from windows 7 or windows 8.1).Reinstalling the bluetooth driver (Programs and Features)only would solve the problem.


I had to open a ticket with the Intel support because uninstalling / repairing / installing the right driver wasn't working. The solution was to enter in the BIOS and setup the default setting. After reinstall the Bluetooth was back:


I have a Dell XPS 13 9350 and had to do a reset of the BIOS to fix this. No idea what had changed in the BIOS, but multiple restarts didn't help. After resetting the BIOS to Factory settings (not BIOS Defaults, but I didn't try that), Bluetooth worked as expected again.


Most of the solutions here did not work for me. In my case, my laptop had an Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver. After searching for that, I ended up on Intel's website and downloaded the latest version of the driver. After running the executable and doing a "Complete" install, I restarted my machine and the Bluetooth switch returned to the Settings window.


Another thing to consider, if you have a spare WLAN adapter / card for your laptop. You can also try to exchange the cards. Check if the Bluetooth afterwards works. Strangly for me it did with my old adapter as soon as I booted into Windows again. So I disabled Bluetooth, turned of the computer and switched my other one (previously not working) back in and it started immediately working again. The switch for turning on Bluetooth was showing up again and it was also listed in the device manager.


I tried most of the above listed suggestions but none did help or brought it back to life. However the quick swap did some magic. This seems to be a bug within Windows 10 because I'm pretty sure this wasn't a connection issue since the WLAN worked flawlessly. Another thing to note is that a driver update of either the WLAN or Bluetooth broke the Bluetooth functionality.


So if you have a second one lying around and don't want to tinker with software methods which probably won't work if you your adapter disappeared in the device manager try this out. It might be a quicker fix.


I had to do a system restore because I had previously installed the "ScpToolkit", which is for connecting a Playstation 3 Dualshock controller to your computer via bluetooth. It seemed to screw up the bluetooth on my Acer laptop completely.


I also tried uninstalling everything related to Bluetooth in Device manager and then reinstalling some of the Bluetooth drivers found on Acer website for my laptop but those didn't do anything. Bluetooth still wasn't showing up on Device Manager (even though I turned on View --> Show hidden devices).


I noticed I had another issue too that when I go into device manager, I was constantly refreshing after every little while. I figured I should perhaps fix that first and following up, it indeed was connected with bluetooth driver. When I uninstalled the bluetooth device, the refreshing stopped.


I had the show hidden devices option enabled from view menu. There were several items listed under blutooth (previously connected device). I uninstalled them all but they will come back when scan for new devices.


Another suggestion I can give you is if you can somehow force this dialog (posted above) to come and selected `Allow bluetooth devices to find this PC' (this was the deselected when the dialog came up), that seems to apply the proper settings too perhaps.


The problem returned after reboot. I searched "bluetooth" in installed programs for drivers and I had two different ones installed as listed bow. Uninstalling the WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software and rebooting fixed the issue for good. (First I let it stay and uninstalled the intel one but that didn't fix the problem).


For instance, I have a VMWare client running on my work laptop. Today I discovered I was unable to use my bluetooth headset for a Zoom call on the laptop. The Bluetooth button in the Action Center was gone, and the Windows 10 bluetooth settings for my headset said simply, "Bluetooth is turned off".


After looking around for a while, I realized the VMWare client window was stealing the USB bluetooth adapter from the host (the laptop), as shown below. Once I unchecked that, all bluetooth features on the laptop came back:


I had recently changed out a mouse peripheral, and removed what I thought was the dongle for the old mouse. However, it turned out the dongle for the Bluetooth Adapter and the old mouse/peripheral dongle were sized & shaped exactly the same (with no branding).


So, after a while I realized the issue was less technical when Windows reported that there was no Bluetooth Capability - got the old mouse of the recycling bin and switched to the correct dongle... Yes not the smartest of solutions, but someday will hopefully help another person from unnecessary debugging


In Device Manager, right click on the Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) and select properties.In the properties window that opens select the details tab as in the image and then select Hardware ID.. Please post all of the resulting information here. You will note that I have suggested two means of locating the driver. Support Assistant may well be the fastest method available to you. The second method requires a small bit of research on my part.


Sorry this isn't a solution but I have exactly the same problem. Same laptop. I've started the bluetooth support service, but still doesn't work. Phone has visibility permanently enabled. Windows XP was a doddle, maybe this is a feature of W7 on this machine?


If your OS is Windows 7 go to Start-->type devmgmt.msc and then select devmgmt. The Device manager will open. The following image shows what you need to expand ((Network adapters). I need you to post the information that is shown after each adapter.


I'm trying to pair my DualSense via Bluetooth on my PC but it's not detected at all. I'm using Windows 11 and I have the ROG Maximus Hero MB. I tried almost everything, checked for DualSense update, reinstalled Bluetooth driver, tried to install the version of the Bluetooth driver provided by Asus (I couldn't because Windows is reinstalling the latest version after restarting), tried to pair my other 3 DualSense controllers, updated Windows 11, installed that latest Windows 11 Bluetooth driver update (the one where they announce that they're gonna support DualSense controller even more to prevent connecting issues), fully charged the controllers, updated bios and many more methods I found on the internet... I'm so helpless guys, it's been a year since the first try, I don't know what to do more.......

PS: I can use it via USB cable. (wired)


Thank you for posting in the communities. In order to help with the issue with the Bluetooth, we need to be more familiar with your system, as such, kindly please share with us your SSU logs. By the way, when you look in the device manager, are you seeing any yellow bang as well? This will help us identify any error message showing up. I will be waiting for your reply.


Thank you for sharing this logs. Before we proceed with some troubleshooting, Could you please confirm if the Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 came pre-installed in your ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO, or was it installed separately by you? Could you also show a screenshot of the components underneath the Bluetooth and Network Adapter of your device manager?


I am having same issues with my PC with my Gigabyte motherboards B660i's built-in Bluetooth device. Would keep an eye on this thread. In my case things were working fine before and this started happening recently. I am Windows 10

Update: I have the same device Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211
