Windows 10 requires further installation for new Bose Bluetooth Audio adapter

I cannot get my new Bose Bluetooth Audio adapter to work with windows 10.

• No trouble with pairing and the device shows up in the Setting/Devices/Manages Bluetooth devices window as "connected"
• Using Action Center / Connect, the device shows up in the list of bluetooth audio devices as "Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter - paired
• Clicking on the adapter comes back with "Couldn't connect"
• In Device Manager I can see "Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter and updating the driver indicates the driver is up to date
• In the Sound window it shows the Bose adapter is there but disconnected. Trying to connect via the sound window fails.
• In Device Manager / Bluetooth / Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter / properties / events I get the following event message "Device BTHENUM\Dev_000C8AD546F4\9&1a5b8f0a&1&BluetoothDevice_000C8AD546F4 requires further installation."
• I have gone through the usual uninstall-restart computer sequence several times, always with the same end result. Interestingly, at the beginning of the process, I hear sounds briefly (<.5 sec) through the audio adapter, then sound reverts to the computer
  speakers (Dell Latitude E5540.
• Another clue? If I use the Action Center / Bluetooth to turn off bluetooth and turn it on again, the sound briefly goes through the Bose Adapter, then reverts to the computer speakers again.

After about 3 hours of trying, I have given up. Can anyone help?
