Do you actually have a bluetooth connection in your PC? If not, you'll never get it to work. Simple, obvious, but you never know what someone will overlook.

Yeah I do

Wiimotes are kinda stupid like that, they won't natively connect to Windows. What are you trying to use them for? If it's for Dolphin, you should be able to connect and configure it within Dolphin's controller menu. If it's for gaming with anything else, I'd recommend investing $15 in a Mayflash Dolphin Bar

It’s for Dolphin, but my wiimotes won’t connect through Dolphin. Maybe I’m doing it wrong?

Hm, that's interesting. What kind of computer do you have?

Also, try setting all four controllers to Real Wiimote and try connecting in-game

That didn't work, here's the specs:
Windows 10 Home
Intel Core i5-7400 CPU @ 3.00GHz
16.0 GB RAM
64-bit OS, x64-based processor

Any idea what the wireless card/dongle you're running is?

Open up Device Manager and look under either Bluetooth or Network Devices

 

[supergamer368]

Open up Device Manager and look under either Bluetooth or Network Devices

Bluetooth 4.2 M.2 is on the box, under device managed there is:
Intel Wireless Bluetooth
Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator
Microsoft Bluetooth Protocol Support Driver

Hm... Have you tried just leaving the PIN field blank and just clicking "Next"?

It won’t let me do that. If you can provide specific instructions on how I could possibly set this up, please do. I can probably try anything at this poiny

oic. Is this a laptop or desktop? Is the bluetooth built in, or a USB adapter?

I'm on Windows 10, fully updated, and have no issues with my Wiimote.

Well that explains a bunch, I haven't tried connecting my Wii Remotes straight to the computer since before the Creator's Update

Built in, supposedly occupying an m.2 spot

Also, it’s a desktop PC, not a laptop, HP Pavillion Desktop 570-p017c if that helps any

What does it say when it doesn't connect? Wiimotes are fickle things they are.

Are you using the Windows Bluetooth manager?
