Windows 10: Bluetooth code 43 driver error

Hi!i recently built my PC and installed everything i needed including windows 11, Bluetooth, and wireless WIFI compatibility. Everything has been running smoothly other than the Bluetooth. I have restarted my PC and tried trouble shooting, but the answers I'm getting are "restart your pc and check for updates." i have checked for an update twice and there is nothing there. I hit the windows button and X to open the device manager and look at the properties of Bluetooth which is where i found the error code 43. I'm am not the best at using a keyboard when it comes to gaming so I've been using m

Generic Bluetooth Dongle - Error Code 43 ;(


I bought this super cheap generic bluetooth dongle. The reviews gave me the feeling it wouldn't work, but i thought how hard could it possibly be? The reviews were right, it doesn't want to work right out of the box, I get an error code 43, and I'm really not sure what to do. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the device and I get the same error. I think it's missing a specific driver but I'm not sure. It's an Excelvan (Imgur: The magic of the Internet), a brand you've probably never heard of (until now *Cool)

I have it plugged into a USB hub, it flashes red so i know its working... (cant see it here because of the flash)




Device Manager...




right click, Properties...




Driver tab...




clicked Update driver...





My computers' specs are listed below, but it's basically an HP 64-bit laptop.

I suggest you to try the below and check if it helps.
