Unable to Pair Bluetooth Headset with Dell Desktop PC
Posted on 2016-07-28
I am unable to pair a Bluetooth headset with a Dell Inspiron desktop running Windows 7 SP1 Home Premium. This PC comes with built-in Bluetooth support.
I put the headset into pairing mode and I click on Add Device in Windows 7 and select Bluetooth. The PC says "Searching for devices" but never manages to see the waiting headset.
I know that the headset is working b/c I had no problem at all pairing it with an iPhone.
I went into the Device Manager and tried to updated the Bluetooth network driver, but Windows indicated that the installed driver is the most current one.
Anyone else come across this problem or have recommendations for further troubleshooting steps? Thanks in advance!
