Hello,

I have a Lenovo U410 touch, and i just upgraded to windows 8.1 though the store.

And the bluettoth is not working at all, it says that the PC is searching for Bluetooth devices.

I have updated all the drivers from the Lenovo websites and still nothing is working

I went to device manager and checked under bluetooth: Intel (R) Centrino Wireless Bluettoth 4.0 + High Speed. Microsoft Bluettoth Enumator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE enumarator are all 3 up to date.

Then I went to network connections (from the start) and i have a red cross under Bluettoth network connection 2 and says not connected.

I really think gooing back to Windows 8 since i cannot listen to my music on my beatbox and connect to my phone and tablet,

Thank you for your help

    Hello,

    Thank you for the information.

    I would suggest you to check the "Bluetooth" service status to “Automatic”.

    To do so, follow the steps given below:

    a. Press “Windows Logo” + “R” keys from the keyboard, Run window opens.

    b. Type “Services.msc” without quotes and click OK.

    c. Right click on Bluetooth support service and click on Properties.

    d. Set the Startup type as Automatic and then click Start under Service status.

    e. Click on OK.

    Please reply with the results, in order to help you fix the issue.

    Thank you

    I recently upgraded two PCs to 8.1 and both my Rocketfish Bluetooth adapters worked fine. Then after that massive "Tuesday Update" on 3/10/15, both are dead now. The blue LEDs won't even light up. I'm a tech and tried everything. All Windows tells me is that they're  'universal USB' things. I've scoured lots of posts and it does seem like something in the 8.1 upgrade globbered everything 'bluetooth'. Please fix, Microsoft. Fix fast.
