The Bluetooth driver you are showing for the Dell Wireless 1820A is from 2015 while the latest driver is from Dec 2016, maybe update that while I check the rest of your info.

You may want to keep in mind the Wi-Fi can have an effect on Bluetooth. We also need some basic info about your system. If yo use the rich formatting for a reply you can attach snipping tool pictures.
In Device Manager you should show your Bluetooth device plus a couple of Microsoft entries. If your headsets/speakers also show that is good. No Unknown devices anywhere in Device Manager or yellow triangles on any Bluetooth components?
Do you know the Bluetooth version of your devices?
You seem to imply pairing the device does not work well. Can you tell us what is happening and what tones you might be getting from the devices? Are you able to get them in the pairing mode and your see on the Settings-Devices-Bluetooth page the system loading the drivers?
When you try to connect, do you just power on your devices and not put them in the pairing mode? Any option showing up for connecting them. The first time you connect, you may have to allow it but devices seem to operate differently and may not need certain steps.
What Wi-Fi card do you have?

Hi
There are no yellow triangles beside the Bluetooth components. I have attached the screenshot.
I have attached the screenshots of all the bluetooth components too.
I would normally turn the pairing device into pairing mode (different from the normal switch on mode) and pair it with my Dell. It will show up the Bluetooth device list, get paired, it will automatically install the driver and finish. No tone was present during the pairing period. However, I'm not able to listen to the media which I'm playing from my laptop to the Bluetooth speaker or headset. I have tried to view in sound>playback devices if the device is available while I have also tick show disabled device. But, still none available. I have also attached the screenshot from settings>devices>bluetooth.
I'm having Dell Wireless 1820 A 802.11 AC
Look for some positive solution for this. Thanks

If they have not done any updates since 2015 they either see no need or cannot update the device.
I also notice the drivers for your devices are using drivers from the original Win 10 release, 10240. You have been updating your builds, right?
I would get a Bluetooth dongle and test with it. They are not very expensive.
