Bluetooth Serial Port (SPP) incoming port creation. I have a bespoke bluetooth device that I can pair with and connect to using windows 10 and it creates 2 com ports - one is listed as incoming and one is listed at outgoing. When I connect using the 32Feet C# bluetooth libraries I am able to discover and pair the device and the enable the SPP. Our Delphi Win32 application has been successfully pairing Bluetooth devices (using the Windows Bluetooth API) with the computer and using the resulting serial port. After installing Windows 10, the virtual serial port resulting from the pairing cannot be opened. I have connected Bluetooth dongle to my Win-10-PC. I can successfully pair with my serial adapter using the settingsBluetoothDeviceAddBluetoothDevices tab. This only does till the pairing part. I can see two virtual com ports are getting created in device manager. But PC is not getting connected to the remote-device (Bluetooth Serial.

Pairing with older versions of Windows 10: Click the Bluetooth icon in the lower right-side task bar: and click “Add a Bluetooth Device” in the menu: Turn on the serial Bluetooth adapter and Windows will find it.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues:

If OBD software has trouble connecting to your car, then set baud rate of connection to: 9600 or 110. Hopefully the software you're using has this option inside it's Settings. For example TOAD software has option to force 9600 bits per second, which instantly fixes random disconnection issues.
