Need Bluetooth?

This message means your Windows Bluetooth adapter or its driver cannot provide the mode PPTControl needs.

  • Driver: Check the adapter manufacturer for a current driver. An update may help.
  • Adapter: Confirm support for Bluetooth LE peripheral mode. A driver cannot add missing hardware features.
  • Other Bluetooth devices work? Headphones and keyboards can still work. The Bluetooth version alone does not confirm support.
