My Bluetooth Hands-free is not connecting with win-10 PC through Bluetooth Dongle, it requires PIN but Hands-free don't have one?

Question

I am trying to connect my Bluetooth handsfree to my Desktop PC through Bluetooth USB dongle.

PC Specifications;

• Windows 10, v 1709 (OS Build 16299.15) 64-Bit OS,

• x64 Intel i5-6600 Processor, 8GB RAM

• No Built-in Bluetooth.

Bluetooth USB Dongle:

Bluetooth Handsfree:

This Handsfree only have 3 buttons, volume Up/Down and On/OFF, there is no display, no way to enter any pin/Code.

I have connected Dongle to My PC's usb 2.0 port, and windows installed the driver with specs, Dongle Appears here in device manager-: I manually installed the driver-: These are the specs of the driver.

After this, I tried to connect my Android Smartphone, and it was successful, I could even send/receive files.

But when I tried to connect my Handsfree, it finds the handsfree, And tries to connect.

Bu then asks for Pin, but I don't have a pin on my handsfree, so I tried entering 0000 or 1111 or 1234, but an error occurs saying Check Pin and try again.

I don't understand, when I connect this handsfree to my Android phone, and Laptop (with Built-in Bluetooth running win 10), there is no pin code asking, handsfree automatically gets connected.

Please guide me on what would be the reason, is there something else I need to do in settings, or something else.??

Thanks & Regards.

If entering 0000 as PIN did not work, try the old classical interface for pairing:

• Right-click the traybar Bluetooth Devices notification area icon and choose Join a Personal Area Network. An Explorer interface will open to Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers.

• Click Add a Bluetooth device

• Press the pairing button on the device
• When asked for PIN, leave blank and continue to connect.

Leaving the PIN blank does not work through the Windows 10 Settings applet, so for devices that don't have a pin one must use the older Control Panel interface.
