    Bluetooth Driver Missing


    So the bluetooth is missing from my settings and my action center. I went to my devices manager and I couldn't find it so I tried downloading the bluetooth driver from Asus' website. I downloaded it but when I tried installing it it told me I couldn't replace my version of bluetooth with an older version of bluetooth. So I do some more research on how to uninstall my bluetooth driver and I find out that to find my bluetooth driver in device manager I had to click view -> show hidden devices. It finally shows up and I uninstall it and then install the bluetooth files I downloaded from Asus' website. Now there is no bluetooth driver even when I click show hidden devices. I tried uninstalling Intelr Bluetooth, I tried restarting Bluetooth support service from services.msc, I tried opening the fsquirt.exe. I tried adding legacy hardware but when I "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list" there is no bluetooth option in there, and when I look in network adaptors -> Microsoft there is no Bluetooth Device RFCOMM Protocol TDI. I am 100% sure my device is bluetooth capable as I have used bluetooth before on it.

    Below is a picture of what my device manager window looks like:

    Under Software devices there is a hidden bluetooth driver but It doesn't look like the normal one:

    When I double click it it opens a window and in the device status box it says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. Code 45

    To fix this problem, reconnect this hardware device to the computer."


    This events tab also seemed suspicious to me:

    I had a problem a few months ago with updating my computer and I was hoping the bluetooth problem would solve itself once I fixed the update problem. To fix the update problem I had to export some wudfpf file from the windows registry from my brothers computer and move it onto mine.


    I hope from my extremely detailed explanation of the problem you can tell that I have spent a lot of time trying to fix this and am very frustrated. If anyone can give me any help it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    :)

    Bluetooth driver for Linux.

    I have an Apple wireless keyboard that use with a Linksys Bluetooth USB receiver adapter (USB BT100 Rev2). It works great with Win10 and it’s small footprint saves a ton of desk space. But when I dual boot to Linux Mint a get a keyboard missing message. Since I’m a rank beginner with a Linux, I could really use a step by step guide to finding and installing Bluetooth drivers to get this keyboard working with Linux. Thanks in advance.
