  Pairing it while the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 software is closed is the way to do it. Using Bluetooth in System Settings to connect the laptop to the robot first, then open the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 software and establish the connection with the robot.
  
  You need to update education software to 1.1.1.
