Windows 10: Realtek bluetooth driver won't update.

I'm trying to upgrade to Win 10 from Win 8.1 and the install stops on Realtek driver issue.

current driver is 1.3.810.3

How do I get around this?

That Realtek Bluetooth driver.

I cannot install the latest update because of the problem with the driver. The problem is I don't have Realtek Bluetooth. I have a Broadcom usb bluetooth. Have searched everywhere and tried all suggested options but I can't find a Realtek driver.

So I cannot update!

 

Cannot update Win 10 to v1909 Realtek Bluetooth driver has to be updated

Ran into this problem also, complaining about old Realtek BT drivers but none installed.

First check for non-present devices in Device Manager by enabling hidden items under View/Show hidden devices. If you still don't see your bluetooth device listed, you may have an orphaned driver file like I did.

Check your C:\Windows\System32\drivers folder for the file RtkBtfilter.sys.
An old Realtek bluetooth driver, not being used but detected by the updater.

Deleted the file and update was able to continue.

There was nothing logged in the CompatData().xml files as suggested to check here:

(I guess because it wasn't installed nor was there any inf file for it.)

 

Cannot update Win 10 to v1909 Realtek Bluetooth driver has to be updated

Windows update is stuck telling me I need to update my Realtek Bluetooth driver software.

My problem is that I do not have the Realtek Bluetooth radio listed in device manager. The only Realtek hardware I have is HD Audio, which has been updated to the latest drivers.

Is this a known issue? Or more to the point: is there a way to tell Update to simply update anyway and I'll accept that I'll never get to use the Realtek Bluetooth radio (which I don't have anyway) again?
