Can no longer connect Wiimote to Windows 8 latptop - TortusAmatus - 11-21-2015
I've been connecting my Wiimote via the Bluetooth menu successfully for quite some time. Now it won't recognize it as a device anymore, it just doesn't show in the menu. All three of my Wiimotes have the same issue. My laptop has built-in bluetooth, and it's worked just fine up until now. It's Qualcomm Atheros AR3012 Blutooth 4.0 + HS. I can't think of anything that's changed, I don't think I updated my Bluetooth driver or anything, so I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help.

I fixed it. I followed the instructions in this video:

Then I uninstalled my Bluetooth drivers through both the Device Manager and Add or Remove Programs. Then I found the right drivers online, and reinstalled them.
