• My laptop model is Asus N552vx
• Android version is 8.0

Before the Windows update, it was connected to the laptop, but not now.

All the settings you mentioned have been applied but the device is still not connected

Hi amin750,

Thank you for your response,

We would suggest you to update the drivers for Bluetooth and Network Adapter drivers from device manager. Please refer this article to Update drivers in Windows 10

Let us know how it goes,

Wireless and Bluetooth drivers are also up to date, but PC name still won't appear on Android phone.
