I can narrow the problem down to a single experiment. Since my Bluetooth devices work under Ubuntu, the problem isn't in the hardware. It looks like successful Bluetooth device enumerations (and details of capabilities) are stored as DEV_xxxxxxxxxxxx sub-keys (where xxxxxxxxxxxx is a random 12 string of alphanumeric characters) under the following registry key: first the hardware connection has to recognished by Windows then the device identified (so Windows can work out whether it has its own driver built-in or whether it needs to go online or whether to ask for a third-party driver) then finally, its capabilities are recorded/stored in the registry. Can someone point me to the relevant part of the Registry so that I can make the necessary repairs myself?From what I can work out the process is similar to USB, i.e. Specifically, I need to know which entries should be deleted when a connection goes dead. To do that, I have to know what those Registry entries are and exactly how they are defined. Can someone point me to the relevant part of the Registry so that I can make the necessary repairs myself?
So what can I, as a user, do until the cavalry arrives? The answer: I have to repair the relevant Registry entries myself. This is a problem that only Microsoft can fix as part of Windows maintenance. That is strong evidence as to the nature of my Bluetoooth problems in Windows 10. I'm running a dual boot system with Kubuntu Linux, and the headphones work there. If the Registry does not reflect the reality of what connections exist, problems will arise. When software wants to use a Bluetooth connection, it looks in the Registry for that connection, or so I assume.
Headphones may work until you walk away while wearing them, and then they don't. Since Bluetooth connections depend on physical realities such as the distance between the sender and the receiver, their existence varies with time. I think the cause lies in a more general problem: the Registry entries relating to Bluetooth are not always consistent with physical reality and might even be internally inconsistent. I, along with quite a few others, have been unable to get my Bose Bluetooth headphones to connect in Windows 10.
