For the very first time the Bluetooth of my Dell laptop worked properly. But after reinstallation of windows, now the Bluetooth can't find any devices nearby its coverage area. I have tried this process more than 25 times but always it shows 'failed to connect'. Please suggest to solve this problem.

Dear Chase Calderon,
Below is the solution of your problem.
Make sure Windows is configured to accept incoming Bluetooth connections.
Step 1
You may check Control Panel for Bluetooth enabled devices. Here's how:
Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Bluetooth Devices.
Click the Options tab, select the Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer check box, and then click OK.
If this step does not help you may try the next step.
Step 2
Remove and then reinstall the device:
1. Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Hardware and Sound, and then click Bluetooth Devices.
2. Select the device that's not working, and then click Remove.
3. Click Add, press the reset button on the device (or make it discoverable following the manufacturer's instructions), select the My device is set up and ready to be found check box, and then click Next.
4. If the device is not found, repeat the previous step. When the device is found, select it, and then click Next.
5. Follow the rest of the instructions in the wizard.
· Make sure the device is turned on and that the batteries don't need to be replaced.
· Make sure the Bluetooth adapter for your computer is attached and turned on, and that the device is turned on and discoverable. If you're not sure how to turn on discoverability, read the instructions that came with the device or check the manufacturer's website

If your firewall frequently disables itself then it most likely is caused by a virus or malware infection on your system. Run a security scan in your system using up to date security software which can be an antivirus or an antimalware software. If there are no infections found try running a system file checker so that your computer can try to search for corrupted files and fix them. After that is done check if it is fixed, if not, try running Startup Repair and check if that helps. Otherwise just get a fresh copy of windows by reinstalling it.
