Bluetooth is a wireless technology designed to transfer data over very short distance, and on Windows 10, you can connect a wide range of wireless devices, such as mouse, keyboard, and headphones.
If Bluetooth isn’t enabled on your computer, the Settings app makes it easy to turn on this device and connect multiple peripherals.
In this guide, you’ll learn the easy steps to turn on the Bluetooth adapter on your Windows 10 device.
How to enable Bluetooth using Settings
To turn on Bluetooth on Windows 10, use these steps:
-
Open Settings.
-
Click on Devices.

Once you’ve completed the steps, Bluetooth will start and remain enabled on your device.
Alternatively, you can also use the Windows key + A to open Action Center, and you can click the Bluetooth button in the Quick Actions section.
