    Every time i go to use bluetooth it doesnt work, so i get frustrated and just give up. until a year later i go to use it again and it still doesnt work, and i go through this process every so often.

    had enough now .. is there a fix for this?

    Bluetooth is working .. right now my mouse is paired and has been for years! But i cant get anything else to pair.

    "allow a device to connect" is greyed out, i cannot select it.

    When i go to "add a device" it never finds my stuff! I have tried with an android phone, and an android tablet. both in discoverable mode.

    Just now i updated BT driver to the latest, restarted, no change.
