Can't connect bluetooth earbuds to Windows 10 - "We didnt get any response from the device. Try connecting again"

Some days ago i got a pair of TWS bluetooth earbuds. I tried them on my phone, and they work right away. So, i wanted to connect them to my own computer: i turned on bluetooth, put them in pair mode and tried to connect them:

Clicked on "Add bluetooth and other device", clicked Bluetooth in the newly opened window, and the earbuds gets detected as can be seen here:

So i try to connect them, clicked on the item list and they apparently start getting paired. But after a couple of minutes of connecting, i get the error mentioned.

So i decided to connect them with an older laptop, which had an older version of Windows 10, and the pairing worked flawlessly.

I already tried:

  • Rebooting
  • Updating the bluetooth driver
  • Downgrade the bluetooth driver
  • Uninstall and reinstall the driver troguh "detect hardware changes" in the Device manager panel
  • Looking for updates in Windows Update
  • Using the Troubleshooter tool that claims to have fixed the Bluetooth radio status

Are there some solutions for this? Should i wait for a newer version of Windows?

About my system:

  • Windows 10 Home
  • Version: 20H2
Windows for home | Windows 10 | Devices and drivers

    Good day Carlo, thanks for replying.

    I have tried your suggested procedure to troubleshoot this problem, but sadly, it doesnt work.

    My Laptop model is MSI GL65 Leopard 10SER. For OEM drivers, i usually look for them here: https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GL65-Leopard-10SER#down-driver&Win10%2064

    I have eventually downloaded the driver already from the site i've linked, but i'll wait for your help.

    Yes, i am indeed able to completely uninstall the driver, but, after uninstalling the driver, yet again, the driver wizard still gives the same error as the one screncapped earlier.

    Weridly enough, before your response, after the reboot, the version installed was 22.20.0.3. Now, after uninstalling the driver again and rebooting my PC, the version installed is different than before 😂

    Here's a screencap:

    The earbuds i've bought work with every device i've used so far, and i really doubt there are problems related to my hardware. I assume this is the Windows 10 version that kind of messes up things, since the version installed on the older laptop i've mention in the question, was 1909.

    Thanks for the support so far.

    I have uninstalled the driver you have provided, and i followed the prcedure you suggested.

    As soon as i start the installer wizard for the driver, i get this error:

    I decided to reboot my laptop, and i checked the bluetooth version, and the driver version mentioned by that popup window reinstalled. In the update driver window, when selecting the driver verison from the ones already installed, the least latest version of the driver, is greater by the driver i've downloaded from the site you've provided.
