SueW, AlphaCharlie

The time is there on my 22H2 (Pro) with March (not April) updates.

Zig

I stand corrected.

I believe he hired Warren Buffett to spend his money.

So, it happened again.

No sound from my Pulse Escape headphones again. Went to Device Manager ad uninstalled both the Escape and 2 instances of Avrcp Transport (one hidden, one not). Then restarted Windows (no fast restart). PE STILL shows in “Show BT Devices”, and will not connect. I did this dance twice (once with Escape on + pairing, once with it off). Same result.

Zig

After the uninstall and before the rescan for new hardware, is the device still listed in Windows Bluetooth settings?

No, but the device still isn’t removed, since the “add device” menu still doesn’t show the headphones. This is without an intervening reboot of Windows.

Zig

Nice try- except:
It doesn’t work for me.
BEFORE reading this post, I just spent 10 minutes trying to uninstall a Motorola Pulse Escape headphone using just this method. EVEN WITH THE HEADPHONES TURNED OFF , when I then performed  “scan for hardware changes” in Device Manager, it reappeared (repeatedly). Same with the Pulse Escape Avrcp Transport (usually, 2 instances). I had to do the uninstall/scan/reuninstall/ rescan, etc. dance 4-5 times before it finally stayed gone.

?Is the secret removing the BT dongle and plugging in back in again? Just doing the “dance until the cows come home, or what??

Thanks to all in advance,

Bill Zigrang

Susan,
“Adversary-in-the-middle”  OOH! “That man” is going to come after you for DEI.

Zig

Uhh – You CAN do both (and give the helper some cred.

Weatherguy,

Instead of using PrtScn to make a screenshot, use Windows Snip & Sketch to make & save the screenshot. Keep it pinned to your taskbar. Alternatively, you could use ShareX (especially good for windows that are to tall to fit on one screen) or PicPick (both available from MajorGeeks.com or OlderGeeks.com, which are both trusted sites for (tested safe) freeware.

P.S.: You should now mark this thread as “resolved“.

 

 

EC,

Sounds like a more serious problem than just your shutdown settings; I defer to the gray(er) beards on this one.

Gene,

OTOH, Skype can be invaluable for emergency (cheap) phone calls when traveling outside the USA (especially if the person on the other end isn’t computer-savvy). I carry an (old,cheap) laptop with me for various reasons  when traveling. Just my 2¢.

This isn’t meant as a solution to your current problem, but I remind you of the good practice of NAMING your drives (e.g., C: System, D: Data, E: Backup, etc.) to perhaps prevent just such a problem as you have here.

Zig

Deo,

After thinking a while, I also remembered that space may also be taken up by Restore Points.

To answer your first question about the <u>Recycle Bin</u>, go to Recycle Bin|Properties (see screenshot) and reduce the size available for the drive in question.

As far as <u>Restore Points</u>, look in:
This PC|properties|System Protection

(See attached screenshot – note ONLY C: {System} drive has protection turned ON.)
