Devices and Printers Not Loading

Devices and printers just continues to search without finding anything. I have read in other threads where this is a Bluetooth support service problem and can be rectified by setting Bluetooth support service to automatic in local services. When I go to services and then try to set the Bluetooth support service to automatic it comes up with a message saying the specified path could not be found. How can I set the Bluetooth support service to automatically start when it says it can't find the path specified?

Solution found here.

Ok, you set me to lookin :) When you right click on the Bluetooth Support Service, and choose properties, what is the path listed?



C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe -k bthsvcs

Now navigate to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\bthserv

and see if the path there matches



%SystemRoot%\system32\svchost.exe -k bthsvcs

As you can see, mine both match, they use a different method to list, but it is the same path. If your are different, let us know. Post screenshots if you can.
