Fix Bluetooth Connectivity issues on Windows 10 creator's update

Microsoft recently updated windows 10 to version 1703. And pretty much nice tweaks was added to enhance the windows experience which i find pretty awesome! The new GUI tweaks and other added features improved the beauty of windows OS and also made some features to be easily accessible.

The upgrade comes with some bugs. One of which is Bluetooth LE connectivity. By Bluetooth LE (Light Energy) one refers to all the modern Bluetooth devices and accessories including mouse, fitness trackers, smartphones and Bluetooth headphones. Well Microsoft has promised to fix this issue with upcoming update, but before that time comes here is a simple workaround.

1. Run Bluetooth Troubleshooter​:





Go to Settings --> Update & Security --> Click on Troubleshoot and head to Bluetooth. Now run Bluetooth Troubleshooter. The Troubleshooter​ will identify and try to fix the issues automatically. After doing this wait for some time till the device reconnects and then the Bluetooth pairing will work as intended.

2. Uninstall Bluetooth Drivers:




Head over to Device Manager --> Bluetooth driver and uninstall every bluetooth driver found. After that that reboot your system and you will be alright.
