Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that is running Windows 7.
-
You install a Bluetooth adapter on the computer.
Then, you follow these steps:
-
You click Start, and then you click Devices and Printers.
-
You click Add a device, and then you examine the list of devices that appear in the Select a device to add to this computer window.
In this scenario, you expect that the Bluetooth device is displayed in the list. However, the Bluetooth device is never displayed in this list. Additionally, you may experience one of the following issues:
-
The Bluetooth Support Service cannot start after you restart the computer. Additionally, Bluetooth devices do not work correctly.
-
When you search for Bluetooth devices in Control Panel, the search operation may not finish. Additionally, you may notice that the progress bar seems to never finish and the pointer remains at an hourglass.
Note This PnP issue also occurs in Windows Server 2008 R2.
Cause
This issue occurs because of a problem in the PnP layer.
