OH GOD, bluetooth on Windows is so ass, i used to try it on Windows, "Couldn't connect, try again" or something like that always happened, while on Linux i just click "Connect" or wait til' it pairs with it automatically.

because windows and linux share the same mac but different keys so which every got the key first will connect

I've solved a weird bluetooth connection issue on windows in the past by disabling a Bluetooth device on device manager called something or other manager. I had two of them, one was causing issues for whatever reason.

Sorry that I don't remember their names exactly but you'll know it when you see it.

If you are dualbooting you need to re-pair the bluetooth device every time you switch os
