Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows you to connect devices to each other. Under Windows 10, you can use Bluetooth to connect keyboards, phones, speakers, etc. Many users who have migrated from the old operating system to Windows 10 have found that the system does not recognize their Bluetooth devices. If it does not work properly on a Windows 10 computer, there may be several reasons.

Reasons why Bluetooth does not detect devices:

1. The Bluetooth icon is missing or Bluetooth cannot be enabled or disabled.
2. Bluetooth does not work after installing an update of Windows 10.
3. Bluetooth does not work after upgrading from Windows 8.1 or Windows 7 to Windows 10.
4. Bluetooth does not appear in the Device Manager and no unknown devices are listed.

How to Fix Your Bluetooth Detection:

Adding the Bluetooth Device again

• Press Windows+S key on your keyboard.
• Type “Control Panel” (without quotes), then press Enter.
• Click Hardware and Sound, then select Devices.
