Windows recognized wrong device

Hi. I just bought a Bluetooth dongle and I installed it on my Windows 10 PC. When I plug it in I check Bluetooth and other devices, Windows recognizes my bluetooth dongle as a bluetooth headset. Originally it didn't matter when I connected bluetooth to other devices, but I wasn't comfortable. How to fix it?

I might try to reinstall your Bluetooth drivers.

Like @Server_42 said: see if the manufacturer provides a specific driver for the device, uninstall device from Device Manager, and then re-plug in your device after installing the manufacturer's version. Possible that Windows Update is pulling the wrong driver or Windows has associated the device ID with an incompatible one.

Does the dongle still work despite being recognized as headphones?
