Good afternoon to all the great folks on this forum! I have a strange issue which I hope someone can shed some light on?
Up until now my Win8 usage has been limited to the Samsung Series 7 Slate, the ExoPC Tablet, and the Dell Inspiron Duo. Well, I got a great deal online on a new ASUS Eee Slate EP121 (i5, 4GB, 64GB SSD) and its a very nice robust tablet. HOWEVER....
I have now installed Win 8 more times that I care to remember. However, I have never encountered this before. After installing the RP x64 edition, the system booted up with all devices in device manager recognized and working perfectly. It ran a couple of Windows updates, and still all was good.
This table comes packaged with an ASUS rebranded Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth Keyboard. Initially after the installation, it paired beautifully within Windows 8 settings / devices. And it worked great.
The next day, the kayboard was no longer in the devices list under Windows 8 settings, however it WAS listed in the device manager under bluetooth devices, as working normally. Trying to re-pair the keyboard has been fruitless - the tablet just no longer sees it.
I try pairing OTHER brands of keyboards, like Logitech - and voila! No problem!
So - I then uninstalled the Microsoft 6000 Bluetooth Keyboard from device manager, and rebooted. However, I had done this several times now - and upon each reboot, it shows up again in device manager! This is with the keyboard turned off and nowhere near the tablet. I uninstall it, reboot and there it is again.
I also tried some of the usual "bluetooth fixes" that other have posted. Even though the latest drives from Microsoft seem to all work great, I installed the x64 bluetooth and WLAN drivers from ASUS. No change at all.
Finally, I tried pairing this specific Microsoft bluetooth keyboard with my Dell Inspiron Duo and my ExoPC Slate, both running Windows 8 x86, and it paired immediately and works great.
So - please, smack me hard in the head and tell me what the heck I am doing wrong? I like a puzzle just like the next guy, but this has become a frustrating exercise in futility. Help!
Thanks all very much,
Mike
