FIX Windows 10 Bluetooth problems cannot remove pair or install devices!

Often there are left over Bluetooth devices in the WIndows 10 Bluetooth settings control panel. Some devices refuse to be removed, some will not pair or sync correctly and it can be rather frustrating to troubleshoot or diagnose what the problem is.

A really simple way to remove these problematic devices and clear up Bluetooth issues in Windows 10 is to completely remove the Bluetooth devices and Bluetooth driver stack to force remove any pairings.

As shown in the video this is a very simple process but remarkably effective at fixing this issues.

Can't say anything more than a MASSIVE thank you! Spent hours on reading useless guides and nothing worked. Your simple solution worked perfectly :)

When did it become such a pain in the posterior to removeBT items ? It used to be so simple. Tried to unpair my Sony WH1000 headphones but I got the same as you did but eventually I did what you did and all was fine. Hopefully this video will help folk out and get them Bluetoothing with confidence again :) Thanks Mike and Kath.

FINALLY after years of troubles with my bluetooth headphones here is working solution. Thank you Mister.

thanks man, new to this built gaming desk top scene, had to buy myself a asus bluetooth adapter and when i tried connecting my air pods it connected to the actual built in blue tooth and that messed it up due to me having to restart the computer to have the blue tooth adapter i bought go into effect. ur method worked and the air pods are now connected to the intended blue tooth source and that is my asus adapter i just purchased, thanks man!

Literally 3 days of trying everything on the internet to remove my stuck Bluetooth devices. I tried the Show Hidden trick, but I only removed the specific items that were stuck.

That didn't work.

Removing them only worked once I removed ALL the BT list items, including the General Radio, Enumerator, etc. Everything. Until there were no BT devices left in the list.

Viola, the stuck devices were finally gone. Ding Dong the Wicket Witch is dead!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...

I did everything you did and it did not work for me. When I clicked the button "Scan for hardware changes", everything including all devices and the problematic device came back on the list on device manager.. I go to reconnect the device, add it or remove it and it doesn't want to do anything. It doesn't even come up when I go to scan for it.
It is an xbox controller that I had connected to my computer just fine for a long time, as soon as my soupse added it to their computer and used it for gaming, I can no longer add or remove it from my computer.
Frustrating..

[serrafersebastian]

I've tried everything, and it just doesn't disappear, I erased every bluetooth driver there was on my computer and it never never never disappears, when I scan again it just appears again even if it's turned off or disconnected.

[SoulStasis]

just did this with my ps4 controller as it was not connecting, now it works perfectly again wireless

[vitorcristiano]

i was almost 100% this would work but it didn't 😂 😂 i even went on all the other options and cleaned everything that had the name of the device, and it still shows up on Bluetooth connections

[welshtony]

Windows is a pain in the arse lately. Great guide though.

[jackyjwjw]

Thank you so much. This video helped me to solve it.

And that is why the telephone connector jack and plug) must remain. That way, at least, we'll always be able to use and other devices supporting that type of connection. Each operating system has struggled with, at least, one peripheral at the moment of pairing/removing/connecting. Which are the guilty ones? The OSs? The peripherals? All of them? The latest version of Bluetooth is 5.3, AFAIK. I'd prefer them to fix the current bugs/glitches instead of adding more and more features.

I tried literally everything registry editing, going into control panel and disabling devices, using a windows powershell command to unpair all devices... Did what you suggested in this video and it WORKED!!!! One thing I did notice is I had to go into control panel > Hardware and Sounds > Then Devices and once in there they disappeared and when you go back into settings THEN it disappears.

[StarClad]

Thanks for your guide and advice, This was a Safe way of dealing with broken Bluetooth devices but it worked for me.
Next time I'll remember to unpair my devices before I get rid of them.

[vulsa]

THANK YOU I spend weeks trying to figure this out but only got 2 mins with your video. Much appreciated 🙏

[oilyspoilyyt]

this worked!!! oh my god i was trying to fix this issue for about an hour, thank you so much!

[AshleySueBangtanSoul]

I have been battling all sorts of issues getting a new bluetooth device to connect to my Windows 11 (still having that problem) as well as getting rid of an unnecessary BT device it wouldn't let me remove. Thank you for this easy video so I at least removed the old device!!! Fantastic video! ... now... back to day 4 of me trying to get the other thing to connect. Why do some of these things have to be so unnecessarily complicated?! THANK YOU!

[jabichoo]

Thanks for the video but even so the method did not work for me, I already found a solution for the one that did not work for you try disabling the bluethoot device and going to the bluethoot configuration try to put remove device
