I have a Bluetooth mouse I use with my tablet and sometimes my laptop. Up until now I could just remove the device from my laptop and pair it again after having used it on my tablet.

But now I go to Devices and try removing it... Nothing happens. It is still there.



Tried Device Manager as well, same thing.

Any suggestion on how to remove this device so I can pair it again?

Actually looking at this... I've just paired my smartphone and all works but the list is never updated to show it.

My guess is Bluetooth is a bit broken in Windows 8.1 (or at least this install).

I wish... You go to Bluetooth and it redirects to this monstrosity.
