I started my computer today and noticed I couldn't use my bluetooth devices. When I went to the Device Manager, I noticed my Intel Wireless Bluetooth was not working properly. The error message "This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE" displays in preferences. I've done the following already and still have the issue:
Disable and Enable the device
Check Windows update
Check device for updated driver software
Checked Intel for updated driver sofware
Run the Windows Bluetooth troubleshooter
Run the Windows Hardware and Devices troubleshooter
Uninstalled the device and driver software, rebooted and scanned for hardware changes to reinstall the device, reinstalled the driver software
I did that last one twice. The only thing I can get to happen is the device seems to cycle between "working properly" and the error message at least 20 times before finally deciding "This device cannot start. (Code 10) STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE"

Our company in the Netherlands has a few Thousand of Lenovo's with the Intel Wireless/ Bluetooth.
They have all the same problem, Talking to Micosoft and to Intel. Just frustration for more than half a year.

2018-05-13T23:27:24+00:00 I'm having the same issue. I have tried both the "Generic Driver" & "Use unsigned drivers" suggestions to no avail. Please advise. I'm using a high end, less than 6 month old HP gaming computer.
