Activating the Bluetooth driver on Windows 10 involves enabling Bluetooth through the Settings menu.
Here's how to turn on Bluetooth in Windows 10:
-
Open Settings: Click the Settings (Gear icon). This will open the Windows Settings app.
-
Navigate to Devices: In the Settings app, select Devices. This section manages Bluetooth, printers, and other devices.
-
Turn Bluetooth On: In the Devices settings, choose Bluetooth & other devices. Move the toggle switch to the On position. This activates the Bluetooth radio on your computer.
Alternatively, you can enable Bluetooth via Airplane mode settings:
-
Open Settings: Click the Settings (Gear icon).
-
Go to Network & Internet: Select Network & Internet.
-
Access Airplane Mode: Select Airplane mode.
-
Enable Bluetooth (If Available): While Airplane mode turns off all wireless communications, you can often re-enable Bluetooth independently within the Airplane mode settings, if the option is presented.
Once Bluetooth is enabled, your computer will be discoverable by other Bluetooth devices, and you can begin pairing.
