    I can't seem to receive incoming bluetooth files but can send outgoing ones. I suspect it is because the Windows Defender Firewall does not have an app specified to allow it through but when I go to allow another app and browse, I can't find an app to allow.

    Suggestions please.

    Further to the above, I have now figured out how to receive it but in order to do it manually through the settings.

    Is there not a way that it can be set up so as to give you a prompt to ask if you want to accept the file?

    Yes to an extent. What I don't get is a notification that an incoming file is pending even though I have the appropriate box ticked.
