Solved: Bluetooth won't start, and device manager/drivers solutions haven't worked...

Y'all, I spent 2 days troubleshooting and goofing around with drivers, uninstalling, reinstalling, rolling back, enabling, disabling, re-enabling, rebooting, etc. and NOTHING WORKED -- UNTIL THIS!

Some genius saved me a ton of headache and lost hours by suggesting to literally unplug your device's power adapter from the PC/laptop, and *pushing the power button* a couple of times (with the unit off and unplugged) to "flush out built up power..." which was causing my bluetooth adapter to think it had a power failure. Crazy but that worked!!

Hope this helps.

Unplug power cord from computer and flush power by pressing and holding the power button."
