Troubleshooting Problems Connecting to Windows PC

If you are having problems connecting to your Windows PC, you can follow a few simple troubleshooting steps that will help solve most of the common problems people have when setting up the Beats Studio Buds with their Windows PCs. 

How to Tell if Your Windows PC has Bluetooth

A very important requirement for using these headphones is your computer has Bluetooth. Here is an easy way to quickly find out if you have a Bluetooth antenna installed on your Windows PC.

• Right-click the Start Button in the lower-left corner of your desktop on your Taskbar.
• Select Device Manager
• Locate Bluetooth in the list. The Bluetooth option might also be located under the Network Adapters option.
• Click the arrow to the left of any entry to expand the list 
• If you see an entry for Bluetooth in the main list or the Network Adapters list, you have Bluetooth
• If you don’t see Bluetooth in the main list or the Network Adapters list, you do not have Bluetooth 

If you don’t have Bluetooth on your PC, you can easily purchase an antenna and install it.

Make Sure Your Bluetooth is Enabled in Device Manager

• Right-click the Start Button in the lower-left corner of your desktop on your Taskbar
• Select Device Manager
• Locate Bluetooth in the list
• Right-click on the Bluetooth entry
• Click the arrow to the left of the Bluetooth entry to expand the list
• Click Enable Device on your Beats Studio Buds

Disconnect Your Beats Studio Buds From all Other Devices

If you find that you have Bluetooth, your Beats are in pairing mode, and you still aren’t finding the Beats Studio Buds in the available devices list, they might still be connected to another device. Try disconnecting all devices from the headphones first before trying again. 

If that doesn’t work, turn off Bluetooth on all of the devices the Beats Studio Buds headphones have connected to before pairing with a Windows PC.

Make Sure Your Beats Studio Buds are Going Into Pairing Mode

Don’t just hold the button for a long time and hope for the best. Ensure the LED indicator light on the Beats Studio Buds Smart Case is blinking. This indicates that the Beats Studio Buds are in pairing mode. 

If the lights never blink, try holding down the button and attempting to pair with the Windows PC increasing the interval you hold down the pairing button by 5 seconds each time. If you hold the button down for more than 20 or 30 seconds, it might be time to try something else.

If All Else Fails, Update Windows

You should always keep your Windows up to date for security purposes, but if you haven’t checked in a while and your updates are set to manual, now would be the time to check. It’s possible there was a quality of life or driver update for your Bluetooth antenna, which is why it isn’t working.

In Conclusion

After each of these troubleshooting steps, it is important to attempt the main steps of pairing your Beats Studio Buds with your Windows PC to test to see if the problem was solved. These instructions should solve most but the most unlucky outlier problems. Good luck.
