Can anyone tell me whether or not Qt supports the windows Bluetooth API? If so could you please share some information on how to use it?

Starting from Qt 5.11, Qt documentation says:
Despite there not being a Win32 port yet, the WinRT backend is automatically used if the win32 target platform supports the required WinRT APIs. Minimal requirement is Windows 10 version 1507 with slightly improved service discovery since Windows 10 version 1607. Therefore Windows 7 and 8.x targets are excluded.
Bluetooth Chat Example tested successfully using following setup:
Qt 5.11.1
Win10 Qt Kit MSVC2017 64 bit.
As January 2020 documentation, Qt 5.14 officially supports "Classic Bluetooth" for win32 builds.
However, it doesn't seem complete, here mentions a restriction about finding devices:
...it is only possible to find devices that have been previously paired through Windows Settings
