how to update my bluetooth driver in windows 10

I just explored the W7 driver file using 7-zip and there are specific hardware drivers listed that hopefully W10 will pick up.ĭownload and install the free 7-zip file utility. I have one last suggestion for you to try. I tried to install the HP bluetooth software for W7 on the notebook when it was running W8 (because the bluetooth was listed as a generic BT adapter, and got the same notification you got on yours. I have a HP 6930p business notebook and it has the Broadcom based HP bluetooth radio v2.1 and W10 installed the driver, and the device is labeled as an HP Integrated bluetooth module and it works. There are no W8, 8.1 or W10 drivers for that version of the BT radio.

I can't understand why it quit working on the clean install. I do appreciate your attention and thoughts. Therefore, it seems to me, it must be solvable. I would accept your age explanation, except, as I stated earlier, it was working under Windows 10 for over six months, before I did the complete reinstall. I had already tried to update the drivers for both devices, and yes, it said the best driver was already installed. There are no drivers I could find for it from HP. Your notebook has a broadcom bluetooth v2.1 adapter, and it is probably too old to work on W10. It will either find one, or report the best driver is already installed. It may take several minutes for windows to look for a driver.

The only other suggestion I can offer would be to be connected to the internet, click on the generic bluetooth adapter in the device manager, click on the driver tab, click on update driver, and select the automatic search and see if windows can find a suitable bluetooth driver.
