Why is Windows 10 Bluetooth so so so bad ?

I am sick of connecting through Bluetooth on my Windows 10

  1. Disconnects automatically randomly
  2. Bluetooth is on but can't connect to the device because it tells that your bluetooth is off.
  3. Devices appear when bluetooth is toggled off, disappear when toggled on.
  4. Nothing happens no matter what you try. The only solution is to restart your device.
  5. After restarting, works for some time. Then randomly ... (please start from point 1 again).

I am so sick of this happening everytime. How can it be so bad? Is Microsoft doing absolutely nothing to fix this.

It makes me want to throw my laptop and pull out my hair. Then I remember, how stupid of me. This has got to do with my Windows, software. How will throwing my laptop help. And then I remember again; if it's a software - it can be fixed! Fix it please!! You made such a huge operating system, you can maybe fix a bluetooth.

PS - I'll check this thread later. I need to restart my system again, need to connect to bluetooth

    I have that exact same one, and all of its brothers, sisters and cousins. Versions 4.2, 5.0 and 5.1. I have a whole bag of hem. When I say I tried it all, I at least mean I tried a lot!

    I am fairly certain, like most people here, that it is not the hardware, it's Windows.

    6 Months since my last post and my experience with Bluetooth on Windows 10 continues to get worse.

    I have tried different dongles and different headphones, all with no luck. Actually the only one that worked flawlessly was a Surface headset. Very convenient...

    Based on the lack of response or update from Microsoft, I'm getting closer to believing this is an intentional move to make people buy Surface headphones.

    I am finally able to leave the MS ecosystem behind in my professional life and I can't wait to start using Linux again. Good luck to all that are locked into this predatory ecosystem.

    Microsoft should be ashamed.
