    Cleaning up device enumeration


    Hello,

    I recently had to manipulate a lot my Bluetooth antenna installation due to several tests...
    The problem is, some third-party softwares I tested didn't managed to remove properly the dongle enumeration in my Windows registry.

    When I reintalled the original pilots, my connection had an ugly "#2" stuck in the name... I went to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\BTH and I could see there was 2 enumerations!

    Then, I went to the System/Devices entries and I manually deleted anything related to Bluetooth, and when I reconnected my antenna, the network switched to... "#3"!

    Aaarghh!!
    Could you help me cleaning up that mess?

    Open a command prompt window and enter these commands:

    set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
    devmgmt.msc

    Device Manager will open. Select View -> Show hidden devices from the menu.

    All your previously connected but no longer present devices will be shown grayed/dimmed. Uninstall the previous ones.
