As a Microsoft systems engineer (and Paradise p90 user) my impression is this is not an MS problem. The individual manufacturers of the various dongles and Bluetooth chipsets are responsible for writing and fixing bugs in their drivers and firmware.

Encouraged by your example, I deleted the L and R paired devices, put my R-aid in pairing mode and this time I achieved the same result as you! I repeated pairing with my L-aid and found, as originally, that it pairs but NOT as an Audio device. That didn’t seem to matter since the R-aid handles audio as stereo!
(I used the same Headphone (not Handset) setting as you have.)
Thankyou.

I am glad it worked.
To be honest, I didn’t choose the settings. That is just the way Windows 10 connected to my KS-10s.
As far as the KS-10 settings, they are what they were when I walked out of COSTCO with the new aids.
My Bluetooth phone setting is also “R-KS hearing aid - Connected for calls and audio”. I did make that setting.

Sir, you, as an experienced person, understand this topic. So I would love to hear your answer. I tried ubuntu linux and it works great there, no problems. But I can’t use ubuntu because I need windows because of applications that are only compatible with Windows.

The question is, is it possible via Virtualbox or Vmware workstation, so I create a virtual machine and install ubuntu. Is it possible to add a usb dongle (bluetooth) to manage it.

So I would set it to start the virtual machine automatically just so I could listen to the sound I run on Windows. I hope you understood what I mean. I’ve tried Virtualbox and Vmware but I don’t know how to add a usb bluetooth dongle to my hardware list so they can manage it.
If you think it’s possible, we can start a separate topic and try to make it possible.

Even if you got the Linux image to connect you would only hear sound generated by the Linux image.

Re: Use of a USB dongle
I, and I believe others, have (or in my case had) been using a phono-plug to Bluetooth streamer of the sort used for private listening to TV audio.
