content: Bluetooth Pairing Issues post ... some fuckin september windows update i dunno Creators Update possibly - Finally fixed it after several months. Hope this helps if youre having the same issue. Hokay so the story goes thusly - II NOW RC correctly, this shit may have started September as i remember being away for work and my ps4 controller flatly refusing to connect to the laptop for reasons and me getting shitted off and having to play with the keyboard which sucked. Fast forward a couple of months, buy a GearVR setup, manage to get it hooked into the PC, get a decent game, cant pair up the controller. Or my mouse. Or my bluetooth headset. Or anything else for that matter. All dialogues are showing the damn things appearing but wont pair no matter what. The clue was trying to pair from an android through up 'yada yada pin or passkey incorrect' every fuckin thing is telling me its all working correctly after god knows how many uninstall/reinstalls of drivers, troubleshooters, etc. Then i found trying to do a file transfer comes up with a windows policy error but there doesnt seem to be any listed policy. Pin Dialogue isnt appearing anywhere. Either on PC or Phone. Couldnt find a single answer useful or so i thought. But just found one about 5 minutes ago thanks to users on Microsoft help (as opposed to microsoft people) and managed to finally re-kickstart the fuckin PIN dialogues at both ends and bamf ive now got my mouse phones and ps4 controller connected again - heres what got it going services.msc Find 'Bluetooth Support Service' Right Click and stop the service. Right click and hit 'properties' Set Startup type to 'Manual' if it isnt.  (I had done this before and it didnt seem to do much but the next step was new) Click the Log On tab Click 'Browse' next to 'This Account' Click 'Advanced' Click 'Find Now' and double click LOCAL SERVICE. It will then take you back to the 'Select User' dialogue, where you can just hit 'OK' In the instructions i read, it told me to clear the 'Password and Confirm Password' boxes but the system wouldnt let me. Didnt matter, it worked anyway. Close that dialogue and return to the Services dialogue.  Restart 'Bluetooth Support Service' Then Go to the bluetooth menu in the task bar and select 'Send a File' - Choose the device you want to send a file to, and fuckin bamf suddenly youre greeted with bluetooth pins left right and center, and game controllers fully functional again. Peace out
