[Giggsie]

Been trying to connect my laptop to my phone. They both find each other but will not connect anyone know what can be wrong? It comes up saying windows cannot send files as laptop is not supported. But it does have Bluetooth it finds phone ok. Have just tried phone and iPad cannot get them to connect what am I doing wrong please

When you connect a phone to a computer (whether that be via a USB cable or using Bluetooth) it's sometimes necessary to enable a setting on the phone so that it can behave like an external drive. Make & model of the phone, please?

This is suggested on a Microsoft forum:

1. Right click on Start and select Run, type services.msc and press Enter.

2. Search for Bluetooth Support Service and double click on it.

3. Click on General type, select Automatic under Startup Type.

4. Check if the issue is resolved, if not restart the system and check.
