Unable to find out the Bluetooth devices from Dell laptop.

Asked By chase calderon 20 points N/A Posted on - 03/09/2012

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.

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.
