What is BluetoothView?
BluetoothView lists Bluetooth devices detected around your Windows PC. Its table shows device names, Bluetooth addresses, major and minor device types, and first and last detection times. It is useful for watching changes in the devices your adapter can detect, with taskbar balloon or sound alerts when a new device appears.
The publisher supplies a ZIP download and says no installation or additional DLL files are needed: place BluetoothView.exe in a folder and run it. Advanced Options can record device arrivals and departures in a log after five consecutive scans. Command-line export supports text, CSV, HTML and XML for keeping a device inventory.
This is a monitoring utility, not a Bluetooth driver or file-transfer tool. It requires a compatible Bluetooth adapter and a driver that works with the standard Windows Bluetooth module. Its Try To Connect action only tests a connection and closes it; it does not send data. A shorter scan timeout can miss devices, especially farther away, so an absent row is not proof that a device is absent.

Good to know
- Requires a Bluetooth adapter and a driver compatible with the standard Windows Bluetooth module; it does not supply a Bluetooth driver.
- Try To Connect tests a connection and closes it without sending information; it is not a file-transfer feature.
- Low scan timeout values can miss devices, particularly at greater distances.
- The Company Name column requires an external IEEE oui.txt file beside BluetoothView.exe.
