Hi @DATTMANO5,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If you're experiencing difficulties connecting Bluetooth devices to your HP PC, here are some steps to potentially resolve the issue:

Step 1: Confirm Bluetooth hardware is detected

  1. Right‑click StartDevice Manager
  2. Expand Bluetooth

What to check:

  • Bluetooth category is present
  • If Bluetooth is missing entirely, skip to Step 5

If Bluetooth is listed, note the adapter name (Intel / Realtek / MediaTek).

Step 2: Restart Bluetooth services (very important)

  1. Press Win + R
  2. Type services.msc → press Enter
  3. Locate: 
    • Bluetooth Support Service
  4. Double‑click it and set: 
    • Startup type: Automatic
    • Click Start (if stopped)
  5. Click Apply → OK
  6. Restart the PC

 

Step 3: Remove and reinstall the Bluetooth driver (HP recommended)

  1. Open Device Manager
  2. Expand Bluetooth
  3. Right‑click your Bluetooth adapter → Uninstall device
  4. Check and delete the driver software for this device
  5. Restart the PC

After a restart, do not rely on Windows Update.

Download and install the official HP Bluetooth driver: 👉 Official HP® Support

  • Enter your HP PC model
  • Select your Windows version
  • Install the Bluetooth driver only
  • Restart again

 

Step 4: Test Bluetooth pairing

  1. Go to Settings → Devices → Bluetooth & other devices
  2. Turn Bluetooth ON
  3. Click Add Bluetooth or other device
  4. Put your Bluetooth device into pairing mode
  5. Select it from the list
