Check is the Bluetooth service running

Is it due to some blockage of some kind, or is a system error, we can’t be sure. For that purpose, we advise you to navigate to Services and see for yourself. This can be done in a simple way, but if you’re not sure how to do it, the instructions are below: That should tend to the service side of the issue. However, the majority of the problems start because of, and you can guess twice, drivers.

Check drivers

As you already know, without the proper driver, even the fully functional hardware can’t do much. And, since all connectivity-related drivers are known for issues, incompatibility, and a bag of problems, we advise you to check the Bluetooth driver. Especially if you run Windows 10. Due to frequent updates that include drivers, there’s a chance that the system automatically substituted working with the faulty driver. These instructions should help you locate and eliminate the possible issue with the driver: Some users reported that the best working drivers for Bluetooth stack are the ones that came with the hardware.
