If you don’t use Bluetooth and leave it on, it will pose some security risks and also drain your PC’s battery.

The search rankings, hopefully can help someone.Many Windows 10 computers come with a Bluetooth chip, which you can use to connect most of your devices like smartphones and headphones. Internet trying to sort this out and this thread is pretty high up on Wouldn't normally necro a thread but i spent two weeks trawling the

Do you have any recommendations on how I can wipe the headphones from the laptop's memory for good, so that I can hopefully connect the two devices fresh again some day?Īfter googling some more, I have found the answer in a different forum post, which I will reproduce here for the sake of any other user encountering the same issue: My layman's diagnosis: something messed up in the communication between my headphones and my laptop, and I cannot reset and re-establish a new bluetooth connection because my laptop somehow "remembers" the headphones, even though it shouldn't, as if my deletion/removal were incomplete. To make things stranger still, once I delete the headphones' driver in the device manager, the driver keeps re-appearing whenever I "Scan for hardware changes", and so does the listing under "Other Devices" in the Bluetooth menu. To make things even weirder, the headset kept re-appearing in the list under "Other Devices", only offering the option to remove it once more without offering the option of re-connecting. It's only my laptop which does not seem to find the headset. I thought perhaps the headset was broken, but no, I could connect it perfectly well to my phone or a different computer via Bluetooth. This time, however, my laptop would not find my bluetooth headset again. So I hard-reset my bluetooth headset and removed the device from my laptop's "Bluetooth & Other Devices".

No worries, I thought, just remove the bluetooth connection and reconnect. After attempting to re-connect my bluetooth headsets to my laptop, no connection would be established. A few weeks ago I started encountering a weird issue.
