Windows 10 Driver Issues

After receiving this adapter, I immediately booted up my Windows 10 machine, ready to plug in my Xbox One controller and play all night. It immediately appeared as "CSR8510 A10". and windows didn't think it was a bluetooth adapter. If you look at the device information, make sure it says "Bluetooth", but when you try to add BT devices in Windows, you get the message "Is your Bluetooth on?". quickly. The only driver the company offers is for Windows 7, so I had to take care of it myself. After some googling and fiddling, I tried the following steps: 1. In search, type "Device Manager" and open it.2. Find it under "Universal Serial Bus Devices", you will see it as "CSR8510 A10"3. Right click on it4. Click "Browse my computer for updated drivers" (don't worry, you don't need to download anything) 5. Click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer" 6. Select "Generic Bluetooth Driver" and click OK". It will install, the computer will magically verify that it's a Bluetooth adapter, and it will work from there! Someone who wouldn't be a computer enthusiast would have trouble with this driver, but it ended up working it.

Pros
  • Computers and Accessories
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
