Okay, so I have an Acer Nitro 5 laptop that has bluetooth that is NOT functioning right. It'll pair up just fine with three different phones, but then if I actually try and connect them it just won't work period.
What's happening is that on the phones it'll instantly display 'couldn't connect,' while on the laptop it'll VERY briefly display the name of the phone trying to connect before then displaying 'not connected.'
Had this happening ever since I started trying to use Bluetooth on this laptop. I've tried to troubleshoot it, no results with the Windows 10 troubleshooter. I have tried disabling/reenabling drivers, uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling out of a restart, uninstalling then manually reinstalling, going into device settings, I've even gone into the Windows Services manager to set the bluetooth services to Automatic instead of Manual and restarting the services.
The most annoying thing about this is that at one point I DID get it working right, but I don't even remember how. And unfortunately, I can confirm that no other program is interfering with it after a full factory reset in and of itself didn't solve the issue.
I'm at my wits end here. I can at least confirm that it's practically the computer fresh out of the box that has the issue and nothing else I've installed software wise. I DO have an additional SSD installed - a Samsung - but that has nothing on it after the factory reset either and that one time I got the bluetooth working it was well after the additional drive was installed, so I can't say it was that.
Anyone have any ideas?
