broadcom bluetooth device driver windows 10

It involves some effort and is a pretty weird workaround but has worked for me twice (on two different HP Elitebook 2560p laptops). It should show the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar and work in Windows 10 too! Double check if it is working, for instance by pairing with another device such as your phone or speakersĦ) Now you are done! Just shutdown Ubuntu, and restart under Windows 10. By enabling the Bluetooth adapter in Ubuntu and then switching back to Windows 10 it remains working! The steps in short are:Ģ) Make a bootable usb-stick using Rufus and the Ubuntu isoģ) Boot your laptop to Ubuntu (you can use it 'live' so you don't need to install anything!)Ĥ) Go to settings and enable Bluetooth. However, Windows update will continue to install the 3.0 driver on restart and the device will stop working. Installing the Win 10 version of SetPoint will get the device working. The Bluetooth dongle that comes with the MX 5000 is a Bluetooth 2.0EDR device. However, I found a fix! Windows 10 often does not even recognize this Bluetooth adapter in device manager, however it works flawlessly by default in Ubuntu (a popular Linux distribution). The problem here is that Win 10 installs the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 driver. Installing older drivers in compatibility mode or default Windows bluetooth drivers did not work for me (and many others). The main problem is that Broadcom decided not to make drivers for Windows 10 available. On the internet I have found a lot of forum posts with this problem, however without working fixes. This is a fix to get the Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth adapter working on Windows 10 (found in for instance the 2560p Elitebooks)
