    Hi, good day!

    • Does your PC have a built-in Bluetooth capability or are you using a Bluetooth USB adapter?
    • When was the last time it worked properly?
    • Have you made any changes to your computer recently?

    I look forward to receiving your update and I'm willing to collaborate with you till we resolve the issue. Do keep me informed by clicking "Add comment" below.

    Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.

    • Shutdown your computer

    Unplug the power cable from the computer for 30 minutes, then plug it in again and turn on.

    This will open Services app

    Find Bluetooth Support service in the list

    Right click it then select Restart

    Right click it again then select Properties

    Click General Tab, in the Startup Type option, choose Automatic in the drop-down list.

    Click Apply and OK.

    Restart your computer.

    • Please try to turn off Fast startup

    Press Start then search Control panel

    Under View by > select Small icons

    Select Power Options

    On the left side, click "Choose what power buttons do"

    Click "Change settings that are currently unavailable"

    Under Shutdown settings > Turn off fast startup

    Power off the system then pull the power cable from the computer, wait for 15 minutes.

    Power back on

    If the issue persists, what is the exact make and model of your computer?

    Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: msinfo32
