RE: Bluetooth LE Windows 10 using WinRT C++ code works if device NOT paired. Fails with unreachable if device is paired..

Yes. I've tried that. I was hoping somebody else had had this issue and figured out a clever way round it.

Our software needs to work with paired devices. I'm going to have to implement a nasty workaround - get the user to pair the device, make a note of it in a "cache file", then unpair it to get the thing connecting. Next time round I can offer the user a union of paired devices and devices from the cache file.

I think the Windows BLE code is broken, but their Bluetooth team is small and unable / unwilling to address this despite it being a repeatable bug. I guess that's why people use UART dongles with Windows!

Probably needs to be someone on an appropriate Windows developer forum?
