Everyone is talking about how Microsoft has got it right with the latest Windows 10 operating system. The favourite Start Menu was brought back, the Live Tiles got combined with the regular interface and it was decided to cull the Windows version updates by converting the software and features into applications.

Microsoft has made some right moves with the latest Windows version, but they have also managed to ruin things that needed no fixing. The connectivity option worked on the Windows 7 without any issue but ever since Windows 8 came out in the market, the feature has lost its charm.

We expected things to improve with Windows 10 but from what we have seen so far, the Bluetooth is as bad as it was with the previous Windows version. Why do we say that? Here’s what we found.

The Pairing Pain

Bluetooth standards allow you to pair your phone with a laptop and transfer data or transmit audio to a Bluetooth speaker. But as easy as that sounds, connecting/pairing these devices via Bluetooth on Windows 10 is a pain.

But what’s even worse is that, once you manage to pair the device and somehow one of them shuts down then you need to unpair/remove that device and pair it all over again.

If Microsoft has ever felt the need to help its users, now is the time. A Bluetooth fix is needed ASAP. How we’d love to have the same-old Bluetooth feature that worked like magic on Windows 7. We really hope Microsoft gets the problem fixed for good.
