Updating a driver is the only way to fix your Bluetooth issues on Windows 10. You've probably read about it a million times, but it might be useful. If you haven't received a driver update through Windows Update, go to Device Manager and manually download the most recent driver for your Bluetooth device. Alternatively, professional software that runs an in-depth scan and downloads the most appropriate drivers for your PC in only a few clicks is recommended. Most of the time, the system does not correctly update the generic drivers for your PC's hardware and peripherals. A generic driver and a manufacturer's driver have significant variances. It can be time-consuming to find the correct driver version for each of your hardware components. That is why we strongly propose DriverFix, an automatic helper that can help you find and update your system with the correct drivers every time. Here's how to go about it:

1. DriverFix is available for download and installation.
2. Start the program.
3. Wait for all of your problematic drivers to be detected.
4. DriverFix will now display all of the problematic drivers, and all you have to do now is select the ones you want corrected.
5. Wait for the latest drivers to be downloaded and installed by the app.
6. To make the modifications take effect, restart your computer.

Verify that the Bluetooth service is active.

1. Open Services by going to Search and typing services.msc.
2. The Bluetooth Support Service can be found here.
3. If this service isn't already running, right-click it and choose Start. Right-click it and choose Restart if it's enabled.
4. Wait for the procedure to complete.
5. Your computer should be restarted.

Use the Troubleshooter to see if there are any issues.

1. Go to the Settings menu.
2. To troubleshoot, go to Updates & Security and select Troubleshoot.
3. Go to the Bluetooth option and select Run the troubleshooter.
4. Continue following the on-screen instructions and wait for the process to complete.
5. Your computer should be restarted.

Use a different USB port to see if the problem persists.

To rule out any doubts, try a different USB port and see if it makes a difference. Here are some further examples of this issue:
