Bluetooth is not working in Windows 10 ?

Your laptop’s Bluetooth isn’t working right?? Don’t worry it is one of the common problem in new laptops having Windows 10 as OS. It can be easily fixed with a simple driver update. I know that it is a very common fix. But considering every type of users it’s our responsibility to describe from the root level.

How can you identify it ??

It will show Bluetooth is in ON mode but you can't add any Bluetooth device or discover any other Bluetooth devices.

Fix for basic error
  1. Right click the Windows Start menu >>  Select the ‘Device Manager’




2. (You can see several sub tabs) Click ‘Bluetooth’ >> Bluetooth V.4 adapter >> Right Click – ‘Update Driver Software’




3.Then appears a dialog box like this, Select the first option. 


4. You can see the driver updating is completed ( For some users up to this step 4 is enough)




Fix for OS related error


In some users the villain might be the OS. When you are at the updating time your OS gives a message that “Your device driver is currently up-to-date. But you won’t, this is due to several reasons in OS. This can be fixed by installing the device driver using a  third party software.

I experienced the same problem in my laptop. I am a long time user of IObit products. To fix the Bluetooth problem I used ‘Driver Booster’ V.3 of IO Bit. It have both free and pro version. You can check the whole system for driver updating or manually select the wanted driver updates.

  • Simply click the SCAN button (Note: Internet required)




  • After the complete scanning you can see the Drivers you need to update as per the Update date.
  • Select the Bluetooth >> You can select ‘Details’ for Details of the driver version, release date etc. Just update the driver. It will automatically updated to the latest version.


This fix is from my personal experience it might not be good for everyone but i can assure an 90% of success. If it still remaining kindly take back to the repair shop.
