After nearly 20 websites with the same solution, finally I had the way to solve that problem. Thanks a lots!

solution 4 was a god send thank you

Thank you. The LOCAL SERVICE account did the trick

Fxxk microsoft, I finally find a way to use my BT, thanks for your solution 4. It’s very useful.

Solution #4 works beauty for me. Thank you very much, sir!

YYYYYEEESSS FINALLY! AFTER 4 LONG HOURS OF MESSING AROUND WITH DIFFERENT SITES, SOLUTION 4 WORKED FOR ME! thank you so much, i can finally use my BT again!

yes same here 20-30 youtube videos and after couple of 100 attempts of troubleshooting it finally worked. I tried iobit driver booster to clen up all discopnnected devices and then the solution no 4. perfectly worked thanks.

THANK YOU! God damn, i had this trouble for a long time, now its fucking working! (Solution 4)

OH MY GOD THANK YOU

Kevin, you’re The man. Solution 4, with Local Service Account has solved the issue.
Thank a lot mate.

Finally working. Solution 4. Thank you!

Thanks. Solution 4 about the local service without the PW seemed to do the trick. Also, to send files from a device to a PC, you have to right click the bluetooth icon in the system tray, click Receive Files from the popup menu, then send the files from the device. It doesn’t work unless you follow those steps.

Following the instructions in solution 4 in the link below solved the problem I had with Bluetooth not connecting and giving me the error “Couldn’t connect. Try connecting again.” in Windows 10. All other attempts to solve the problem failed. I hope others will find this link useful. It will save them Hours or frustration. THANKS!https://appuals.com/fix-blu…

OH MY GOD. THANK YOU FOR SOLUTION 4 HOLY SHIT. Finally fixed it D;

This article saved my ass. Especially in LOCAL SERVICE. Thank you for this.

My God. Thank you! It took me hours and hours (including an hour-long call to the Microsoft support service) to fix this. Finally, solution #4 helped! Thanks a ton!

THanks for this. Local Services solution is amazing . Have been updting driver for a year in the hope that one day I would be able to connect one device to my pc bluetooth.

Thank You!!! The solution 4 works like a charm. I even contacted the dell support and they were ready to even change the motherboard in few days. But this saved me a lot of trouble.

I have this window. https://uploads.disquscdn.c…
When I open again this nothing is saved.If I try to connect from my PC to phone, PC has connected state(But it`s not), When I try to connect from phone to PC, phone writes “Couldn’t connect”.What should I do?

Why u deleted my message??? It still doesn’t work!!!!

Hi Kevin; maybe you can help …in accessing the Bluetooth User Support Services and attempting to set it from manual to automatic, I keep getting a pop up that indicates “the parameter is incorrect”. Exactly what do I type into the box so this ceases to happen?

Thanks Kevin – Local Services account worked for me

Thanks Kevin – the Local Services did the trick.

THANK YOU! I was having a hard time connecting my speaker and my phone to my PC you see. It was solution 4 that worked for my device.

Solution 4 is a Life changer!, was frustrated for a week trying to figure this out, almost about to smash my Bluetooth speaker.. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!

Solution 4 did the trick. Thanks!

Solution 4 worked thank you.

I usually don’t comment but this time I would really like to sincerely thank you, Kevin.
Your solution 4 works!
After googling over a month looking at similar answers like using troubleshooter, editing the registry and even doing a system restore. I still couldnt manage to pair my bluetooth keyboard and mouse after removing them.

Thank you so much, changing the service to “This account: Local Service” fixed the connection problem for me!

Hi Kevin,

I’ve been struggling with this issue for several days, your solution about local service solved it for me.

Thank you!

TWO DAYS!!! This is how much it took me to restart my BT Mouse that went missing in the system.
Two days of browsing the web and being an inch from rebooting the system the hard way.
…and then I found this article that shows how to properly restart the service and add the local service.
Thanks a million man! I owe you one.

#3 fixed me up. Setting Bluetooth support to Automatic fixed it. No other BT services were touched.

Thanks mate, the Local Service account worked for me too

Having an old laptop upgraded to Win 10, I have been searching solution on the bluetooth connection. It may have taken weeks for now, till I read this. Solution 4 is my pick, and thanks for the author sharing this. Great work!

Solution 4: Configuring Bluetooth Services helped me thankssss so much… first helpful and i tried a lot of different things today. You are awesome Kevin!!

Two months it took me. Two bloody months.I’m not an IT person. I was on the point of reinstalling the system. Yours was the last page I gave a chance and yours was the only one that gave the magical, miraculous, fabulous solution 4.
You saved my sanity and a lot of my time. Thank you. And I mean, A LOT. Really.

THANKS – LOCAL SERVICE solution work perfect, thanks again!!!!

I had some reservations about setting it to the LOCAL SERVICE account, as I had tried that before with configuring wi-fi cards and the fact that I didn’t know what to put in the password fields, but you Kevin made Solution 4 so easy. I didn’t realize that these fields would auto-fill themselves. Recently upgraded my Dell Wireless 1705 PCI-E mini wifi card to an Qualcomm Atheros AR5B22 that shows up as a Qualcomm Atheros AR946x in device manager for the wi-fi part, but I’ve had a heck of a time finding the Bluetooth drivers, which are a separate setup file download and show up separtely as Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Adapter in the device manager under bluetooth adapters, unlike with the old Dell card. I had to upgrade due to the fact that I had upgraded my router to a dual band 2.4/ 5 Ghz unit and I needed a 802.11ac wi-fi card to match the throughput speed. But I’ve finally managed to conquer this problem, thanks to your article. If anyone else has issues setting up the Qualcomm Atheros AR5B22 card, needs the drivers, or needs to know how to custom install them, please DM me and I’ll be glad to help. God bless.

Jumping on the solution #4 band-wagon. Thanks so much! I have been dealing with this for the better part of the last 8 months and just haven’t devoted the time to look into it further.One point I will tell anyone in a similar situation on the steps… i did not have a “Bluetooth Handsfree” option in my services, but followed along anyway and it worked fine.

It worked! Thank you! For almost 2 years my bluetooth didn’t work and I tried everything to solve it… Only you method did it!

I cried for joy when it worked!!! Now, start the ‘Bluetooth Support’ and ‘Bluetooth Handsfree’ services.
After that, press Winkey + I to open Settings, then heard my device connect. I love you so much!

Thank you. Solution 4 works perfectly.

OMG #4 really worked! Thank you so much, Kevin! I spent 7 hours and tried everything before I found your article.

i cannot thank you enough. after spending hours on USELESS solutions like troubleshooting etc you gave me the right solution of the LOCAL SERVICE one. THANK YOU SIR

solution 4! thanks!!!

bloody hell! reconfiguring the service logon for the BT support service did the trick for me! 🙂
well done!!

Solution 4: Configuring Bluetooth Services
Its work,, thank you

I have been suffering with this for months upon months now and the only thing that your guide mentions that absolutely every other repetitive PC help page parrot DIDN’T is the thing that finally fixed it.. Solution 4.
Microsoft is absolute garbage. Can’t believe something stupid like that prevented me from using my stuff. (especially when it worked perfectly half a year ago)

It’s been a year without Bluetooth in my laptop. Solution 4 saved my life.

This worked, thank you!!!!

Solution 4 worked!!! Thank you helping us!!!
