AirPods paired but won't connect.

Anonymous

AirPods paired but won' connect, I tried:

-Deleting the drivers and updating them.

-Putting Bluetooth Support Service to Automatic and restarting

-Troubleshooted everything

-Tried every 'connect' button on every window I know such as:

-Sound control panel, Devices and Printers, Bluetooth settings, Action Center (Connect button)

And still doesn't connect

-Scanned for hardware changes

It shows up on my Playback settings as disconnected (AirPods Stereo and AirPods Hands Free AG). Everytime I hit the connect button nothing happens.

Found solution on another forum:

Regedit > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class{e0cbf06c-cd8b-4647-bb8a-263b43f0f974}\0000 > New "String Value" > Name it PnPCapabilities and set value 24.

Restart your computer. Viola!

I think it sets the Bluetooth device to never go into sleep mode, so may affect your battery life.

I found that it woks if after pairing your AirPods, you open the Sound Control Panel and set the Default Device to Headphones - AirPods Pro Stereo. The AirBuds will then automatically connect when they are out of the charging case.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I appreciate the efforts taken by you in resolving this issue. I understand that you are able to pair the AirPods but unable to connect them to the computer.

One of the things that you can try is to remove the hidden drivers for Bluetooth and then pair the AirPods once again.

Press Windows key + R. This will open Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
In Run dialog box, type devmgmt.msc and hit Enter.
Click on View and click on Show hidden devices.
Go to Bluetooth and expand it.
Now uninstall all the greyed out devices.
Restart the PC.

Once you restart the PC, try pairing the Bluetooth device and see if you are able to get connect them. You can refer the article Connect a Bluetooth device in Windows

Let us know the results.

Regards,

hi,

i am Daksh

this issue has been happening to me as will with my JBL headphones

i am no expert but i think i have found a solution

first you will need to connect your pc to your headset via bluetooth

then on your bottom left of your screen you can see the speaker icon, right click on it

click on Open Volume mixer

if you have connected your device then you can see a headphones icon displayed

set its volume to 12 or 13

and that should do it cus it worked on my device

:)
