Bluetooth incompatibility

happiness — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 21:12:19 GMT

I have a Lenovo C930 and a pair of Anker Soundbuds Slim+. The headphones worked fine with the out-of-the-box drivers on the laptop (version: 20.60.0.4, date: 4/5/2018). Any updates I tried since I got the laptop resulted in incompatibility with the headphones (they can no longer connect nor be re-paired) . I had to download the original driver from the Lenovo support site each time a tried doing an update in the bluetooth driver.

Any one having the same problem?

Hello @Jose_Intel , thank you for answering.

· Is the Wi-Fi working properly?

- Yes

· Are you having the same issue with other Bluetooth devices?

- Not that I remember. I suspect compatibility issue to be honest.

I will generate the report once I can access my laptop again.

Hello happiness

Thank you for the report.

Let’s perform a clean installation of the Bluetooth driver. Please download the driver from here: Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® for Windows® 10 and Windows 11*

1. Go to Device Manager.

2. Expand the Network Adapters category.

3. Right-click your Intel Bluetooth and choose to uninstall it.

4. Make sure to the option to Delete the driver software for this device is selected.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 until the option to Delete the driver software for this device is greyed out.

6. Restart your computer.

Note: Windows* may have an inbox Wi-Fi driver that came preinstalled on your system. These types of drivers can't be uninstalled (you won't see the "Delete the driver software for this device" option). Proceed to the next step if you start seeing the same version of the driver installed automatically after performing the uninstall process.

Then, locate the driver you downloaded. Right-click the file and select the option to Run as administrator.

Best regards,
