I can turn Bluetooth on and off in the settings. When I go to add a Bluetooth device I immediately get a "Couldn't Connect " error. When I run the troubleshooter, it says that it could not turn on the Bluetooth device. I removed my Asus internal WiFi/ Bluetooth device, and uninstalled the drivers. I connected a USB Bluetooth device but still have the same issue. I have turned on and off airplane mode. I have gone into Services.msc and the BT service is running. I restated the service. Nothing I seem to do works. Any suggestions not on the Microsoft BT troubleshooting web page?

I built the computer. Bluetooth worked flawlessly then all of a sudden I start getting the "Couldn't Connect" issue as soon as I go to add a device.

Windows 10 is not turning on the bluetooth radio. Both troubleshooters say that they are unable to turn on the bluetooth radio. I have used my internal ASUS Wifi/BT card via PCI-E. Also, I physically removed the ASUS card and connected an USB bluetooth adapter and I get the same issue. There is something in Windows 10 itself that is not allowing it to turn the bluetooth Radio on.
