Wireless headphones not showing up in Bluetooth "Add a device"

I bought Prestgio PBHS18R Bluetooth wireless headphones. They work perfectly well on my iPhone, but my windows 10 won't detect it.

Bluetooth works perfectly fine as it shows my phone (and other bluetooth devices), but not my headphones.

I tried both the "connect" in Action Center and "Bluetooth & other devices" in settings; same result.

What am I to do?

Here's a summary:

Phone-laptop✔️

Phone-headphones ✔️

Headphones-laptop ❌

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Devices and drivers

    There doesn't seem to be any question that answers my question. Bluetooth works fine, it shows in my settings. My problem is that my wireless bluetooth headphones do not show, not in the Bluetooth menu, and not in the "connect" menu in action center.

    This is strange because the headphones work well on my phone and other devices, and my phone connects to the PC just fine as well. So I know that there isn't a bluetooth issue with the headphones themselves.

    If that would be the case, we suggest that you install and update drivers on your Windows 10 computer to check if that's the one causing the issue.
