body: <p>I am trying to connect bluetooth handset device from windows 7 and above  using below link </p>

  <p>Windows 10 is succesfuuly able to pair and connect the device but on window 7, device is only paired, socket connect is always failed  with error code 10060.</p>
  
  <p>we are using Blietooth API "BluetoothFindFirstDevice" and "BluetoothFindNextDevice" to scan devices and "BluetoothAuthenticateDeviceEx" for sending  authentication request to a remote Bluetooth device. On window 7 bluetooth devices shows the handset under paired devices. but socket connect fails.</p>
  
  <p>Does connecting to Blutooth device on window 7 using below API is possible?
