Windows 10: CSR8510A10 Bluetooth Adapter not working

I just got a USB Bluetooth Adapter from Amazon for my PC and it said it would work with windows 10 out of the box. I plugged it in and when I go to settings to connect a new bluetooth device, it says bluetooth is not enabled. I have had one of these things before and it worked, but it broke one day. I have tried installing the drivers the seller recommended but nothing worked. The only thing I can think now is I have a faulty unit. If I am missing something please let me know.

Promate Bluetooth™ 4.0 USB Adapter !

Hello Everyone

Wifi/Bluetooth adapter issues/ maybe virus

Hi Nath,

Try re-enabling your third-party anitivirus and do a full system scan. Once done, and if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is still not working, try to uninstall and reinstall both drivers. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on Start menu button, and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Network adapter section, right-click on your Wi-Fi driver and select
   Uninstall device.
3. Repeat the steps for Bluetooth driver.
4. Restart your computer.

Both drivers should reload fine after the restart. If it doesn't, I suggest manually downloading and installing the latest wireless network adapter and Bluetooth driver from your computer manufacturer website.

If you need further help, let me know by posting back. I will get back to you as soon as I can.

 

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
