If you never bother to or don\u2019t remember when was the last time you updated your Bluetooth driver, definitely do it now. It might just fix your problem right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019re mainly 2 ways you can update your Bluetooth driver: manually or automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"op1\">Option 1: Update your Bluetooth driver manually<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re familiar with computer hardware, you can try to update the Bluetooth driver manually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To do so, first, visit the website of your device manufacturer, then search for your device model. Be sure to download only the latest driver that\u2019s compatible with your operating system. Once downloaded, open the installer and follow the on-screen instructions to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Option 2:Update your Bluetooth driver automatically (Recommended)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have the time, patience, or computer skills to update your Bluetooth driver manually, you can, instead, do it automatically with&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drivereasy.com\/kb\/DriverEasy_Setup.exe\" onclick=\"gtag('event', 'click', {'event_category': 'download', 'event_label': 'kbde-dedownload-ddl', 'value': 1, 'non_interaction': true });\" rel=\"nofollow\">Driver Easy<\/a><\/strong>.
