Whenever I click devices and printers, the green loading bar gets to a certain point and refuses to load past there. It's been persisting for a few months now.
I've tried checking device manager and everything is working fine. I also went into bluetooth services & bluetooth support service and changed them both to automatic, but this didn't solve the problem either.
Welcome to the forum Hannaa,
Please run a system file check.
NoteRun the System File Checker that scans the of all protected Windows 7 system files and replaces incorrect corrupted, changed/modified, or damaged versions with the correct versions if possible:
Sounds like a driver problem.
Check Device Manager:
Start> Run then type
devmgmt.msc
Press Enter.
Find your printer driver and see if there's an exclamation mark. Even if there isn't - note the version number then check the manufacturer's website to see if there's an updata available. If so - install the update.
If no update is available download the driver anyway then uninstall the currently installed driver, reboot, then install the driver that you downloaded.
Note: I'm not an expert on this and while I can sort out my own driver issues I'm not confident on helping other people with their drivers so perhaps wait for more advice from other members.
