My 4 year old Acer laptop was lovingly Bluetooth enabled and began life running win7.

Year and a half ago I downloaded win10, after which no Bluetooth audio device could connect.

It will say Paired, and when I click Connect the response is always, "That didn't work, make sure the device is still discoverable and try again".

After removing the device and re-discovering, and re-Pairing, it is the same, "That didn't work".

When I remove the headphones, left them On and Not in Discovery mode, it says Connected, after downloading the device drivers.

It makes no sound on the headphones but a single blip sound and says "Connected" for a second and immediately goes to "Paired".

It says, "Your Device is Ready to Use". It doesn't show in Select Playback Device, which I find by left-click the Volume Icon and click the Up arrow icon.

I would like to use the headphones for my main audio playback device.

I have tried everything I can find that seems understandable to me, except for reset and reinstall.

I would like not to try these as it seems I'd have a lot of new work to start over with to regain my working computer as it is.
