How to Enable Swift Pair in Bluetooth Windows 10

Previously, the process of pairing Bluetooth was a little bit lengthy as the system used to scan for available devices first and then asked to enter pair code in order to complete the whole process. To make the procedure faster, Microsoft came up with a new feature named Swift Pair. Once you enable Swift Pair, Bluetooth gadgets closer to your PC will get connected with the system in the earliest opportunity if they are in pairing mode.

Swift Pair was first introduced in Windows 10 1803 and modified later. This feature basically minimizes the steps that were needed earlier to pair a Bluetooth device. After enabling it, when a supported wireless gadget is nearer, a notification will prompt from where you need to click connect button only. However, the pair mode of Bluetooth peripheral must be switched one and that can be easily done by pressing the physical button of the gadget for around ten seconds.
