Windows 10: Does Win 10 turn on Bluetooth automatically and misread dongle as disk

My Dell N7110 installed Win 10 free update nicely. Had some minor quirks but fixed and had to install updated software for HP products. Problem arose, when during Anniversary update, my mouse started connect/disconnect. Traced it to a bad wire at the mouse. Bought a new Microsoft wireless mouse. Plugged it in-works. But--on "Retarts" for installation of software, and on updates, at Restart black screen got message "unable to find operating system". Hard boot-started and loaded flawlessly. Tried the "restart" from the power icon-"can't find operating system". After three days of scouring the net, pulled the "dongle" out after restart screen opened, restarted normally. Went into "Bluetooth controls" turned off "Bluetooth" and tried restart, worked normally even with dongle in. And, the wireless mouse works fine. I think having the Bluetooth on and having a Bluetooth transmitter, combined to mix up the computers bios. Is there a fix for this, so I can leave the Bluetooth on for my other devices and still use the wireless mouse? For the moment, I went out and bought a new "old school" wired USB mouse and there are no issues with the Bluetooth on and the wired mouse with "restarts".

Bluetooth not working - Windows 10

My USB bluetooth dongle could not be detected. Try removing your sound device from device manager re-boot and then let Win 10 find and install the sound driver automatically. Then plug in your Bluetooth (3?) dongle in and let it be auto detected and installed.
Until I corrected the sound driver problem it would not detect my bluetooth dongle!

 

Bluetooth for Win 10

to: Dyan Rey

Thank you so much for your reply. I was able to resolve the issue, and the Bluetooth dongle I purchased passed the Mix Reality test. I did not know that Win 10 has Bluetooth drivers built-in. The instructions from the MFG had me installing a driver from
a small CD disk, which did not work with win 10.

In Win 10 once the USB dongle is in place Win 10 loads its driver. Then the device you want to pair must be added to the device column in the setting control panel.

Thanks Again
