Windows has been facing technological snags but has managed to adeptly handle them. It has the required expertise and knowledge.

Windows 10 May 2019 Update problems: how to fix them
On these machines, after installing the above-mentioned patch, May 2019 Update users may indeed find that their Bluetooth speaker will no longer connect to their PC, or if it does connect, the audio quality will be rather poor. Windows 10 patch need much attention as it was something that should not have happened.
A third problematic scenario that has been described by Microsoft in its support document is that the Bluetooth speaker may indeed connect, but the sound may rather come out of the PC’s internal speaker, rather than the Bluetooth device.
Microsoft further does take note of additionally, in Device Manager, as one notices an entry under the Sound, video and game controllers node for Microsoft Bluetooth A2dp Source that does show a yellow bang icon.

Those affected May 2019 Update users do need to fire up the System File Checker tool and also use that to repair missing/corrupted files, which is rather evidently the issue here following the cumulative update.
To do this, one does need to open the command line – and in case one is not sure how to do that, simply type ’cmd’ in the search box located next to the Start button and then click on the Command Prompt app at the top.

The user may have to wait for several minutes for the scan and repair to be carried out, but once it is done with finished, reboot the PC. Hopefully, everything is now rather back to normal with the Bluetooth devices in Windows 10.
Windows 10 has technologically proved well by dealing with the problem that crops up efficiently.
