Hi, 

Meanwhile I suggest you temporary disable the antivirus and firewall, then check the result. If the issue persists please let us know if the issue occurs when transferring data with any other devices. 

There may be hardware compatibility issues between the adapters on the computer and the device. Try update Bluetooth driver and the bluetooth component of your Windows phone to check the results.

I had the same problem after installing 8.1.

Search 'fsquirt' at the Start Screen, and then if you wanna send a file just choose 'send files', if you wanna recieve files, just choose 'Recieve Files'

If you pin the program on the taskbar you're all set for future transfers through bluetooth.

Just pair your device with your notebook and after that open explorer in which you will see icon representing your device (phone or tablet). By clicking on this icon you will be able to browse whole content of device (photos for example), then you can copy it to your notebook ..

Awesome thank you very much for this info, works a treat. I emailed Microsoft of this issue, they are as useless as a bull with tits. If anyone has the same issue just do what has been said here, but if Microsoft ironed out all there bugs before releasing there updates we wouldn't be pulling out hair out as much hey....cheers again top information

Strange though it may be it worked flawlessly. You deserve bonus credit for knowing that trick!!

Thanks very much! You're officially my sole hero for the next 24 minutes.

Swith on bluetooth on laptop/computer. Click on bluetooth icon then click on receive file. Now send file from other device. This may solve the problem.
