Windows 10: Bluetooth dongle sometimes won't load driver after Windows 10 upgrade

I recently upgraded my desktop PC from Windows 8.1 x64 Pro to Windows 10 x64 Pro. I have a Logitech BT mouse (model M-RCQ142) and a Belkin F8T016 BT USB dongle, and never had any problems with this combination on Win 8.1. With Win 10, the BT mouse sometimes does not work when the PC is powered on (perhaps every third or fourth boot), and when this happens, the Belkin dongle shows up in device manager with a yellow exclamation mark, and the system log contains a warning event from BTHUSB saying "A command sent to the adapter has timed out. The adapter did not respond.", followed by an error event from BTHUSB saying "The local Bluetooth adapter has failed in an undetermined manner and will not be used. The driver has been unloaded.".

At this point, if I disable the dongle in device manager and then enable it, the driver loads without any error. However, the BT mouse still won't work until I open Settings, select Devices, Bluetooth, select the BT mouse and click "Remove device", then let it be found again and pair it. It then works, but this whole process is a total PITA to have to perform when it happens (I also have to scrounge a USB mouse from another machine to go through these steps).

I got Device Manager to search online for updated device software for the dongle, but it scans online and tells me that I already have the best driver software for the device installed.

Any suggestions on how to prevent the driver from sometimes not loading correctly?

CSR Bluetooth Device

I have a CSR8510A10 Bluetooth dongle which worked OK for Windows 7, however since windows 10 it won't work. Where can I find drivers /software for such a device. Mediatek Bluetooth adapter etc all tell me they are working OK. The Dongle didn't come with
a software disk.

Device Manager and reinstall it using the driver software that can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
To do this, follow these steps:

• Insert the Bluetooth dongle and if it's installing the driver automatically, cancel it.
• Use the driver that you downloaded.
• Restart the computer.
