Windows does not connect to nrf51822

Hi,

We are building a device that communicate over BLE to standard Windows 10 PCs, but windows would not pair with the device. We can connect with master control with no problem.

We have tried multiple code samples and they all fail to connect to Windows, is there something we are missing?

Your PCs do have BLE connectivity? It is not a regular Bluetooth device.

What you might try is adding security to your connection: Windows Mobile devices refuse to pair if there is no security enabled, see: https://developer.mbed.org/questions/68799/NRF51822-and-Lumia-640/
