Windows 10: Bluetooth issues - Atheros AR9462

Hi everyone,

I’m having issues with said Bluetooth adapter on Windows 10 for almost a year now: it doesn’t recognise any of the Bluetooth devices I try to pair it to. Now I’m trying to Link a pair of AirPods Pro with it, unsuccessfully: the AirPods work with other PCs (I tried with a desktop and a laptop, both connect without any problem). Months ago I installed a Linux distro, and there the Bluetooth worked, so I suppose it’s not an hardware problem.

I tried to uninstall it, update the drivers, everything... I don’t know what to do no, do you have any ideas?

Thanks a lot!
