In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.Ĭlick the Update Driver button and follow the instructions. In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose "All Apps" -> swipe or scroll right and choose "Control Panel" (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows 11, Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager It allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them. To install a driver in Windows, you will need to use a built-in utility called Device Manager. It involves some effort and is a pretty weird workaround but has worked for me twice (on two different HP Elitebook 2560p laptops).Once you download your new driver, then you need to install it. 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, 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). 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)
