Q:

How to make visible Bluetooth connection on a laptop with Windows 8.1?

I have a Toshiba laptop, with Windows 8.1 installed on it and I want to transfer a file from my smart phone (Samsung Galaxy Gio) to the aforementioned laptop. 
The problem is that, although I opened the Bluetooth adapter, on the laptop, I can't seem to make it visible to the phone. I tinkered into the Control Panel and all that I found was the on/off switch. Once I turned it on, the laptop also looks for devices, but it doesn't find any, although the phone's Bluetooth is on and visibile.
I am sure that the phone is not the problem because I had successfully sent files from it to another laptop using Bluetooth. 
What am I missing?

A:

In my case, the laptop had two different Bluetooth driver versions for the same device. The second driver was installed without my knowledge. Uninstalling the last driver installed solved the problem.
