Windows – How to pair apple wireless keyboard with windows 10

bluetoothkeyboardwifiwindows

My apple wireless keyboard has stopped pairing with Windows 10. Now when I try to pair through settings, I'm asked to enter a passcode for the keyboard rather than being supplied a passcode to pair the device. I'm unable to type anything using the keyboard. Entering four zeros using the laptop keyboard does not work. I've tried un-installing bluetooth drivers and reinstalling. This doesn't help. Any advice?

After trying 15 times in vain, here is the method that worked for me (source)

  1. Go to "Add Bluetooth or other device"
  2. Find the wireless keyboard and double click on it.
  3. When prompted for a pin, enter anything on the screen, I used "123123". I dont know what else will work.
  4. NOW IS THE IMPORTANT PART.
  5. HIT 'Connect' on your screen and IMMEDIATELY enter '123123' + ENTER/RETURN on the wireless apple keyboard, and you should be paired.
  6. If you have issues, turn off Bluetooth and restart the wireless keyboard and repeat the process.
