HP Probook 440 G8 bluetooth does not detect Apple Airpods Pro

I have Apple Airpods Pro. When I try to connect them via Bluetooth on my HP Probook 440 G8, they just do not show up in the add device list. I have tried everything I could find online for this issue.

hey

You can use AirPods as a Bluetooth headset with a non-Apple device. You can't use Siri, but you can listen and talk. To set up your AirPods with an Android phone or other non-Apple device, follow these steps:

1. On your non-Apple device, go to the settings for Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is on. If you have an Android device, go to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth.
2. With your AirPods in the charging case, open the lid.
3. Press and hold the setup button on the back of the case until you see the status light flash white.
4. When your AirPods appear in the list of Bluetooth devices, select them.

Hey, thank you for your reply. However, I have already tried this process multiple times. No matter what I do, the airpods dont show up in the bluetooth list. The laptop is not detecting them. Windows and bluetooth drivers are all up to date.

Ok, so I got this sorted out. Bluetooth service was disabled. Enabled it through Services app.
