Windows 10: Finding Bluetooth link key

Hi,

I'm trying to find the the Bluetooth link key of my Logitech K810 keyboard. Does anyone know where to find it in the Win10 registers?

I have a dualboot Windows 10/Linux Mint desktop with Asus BT-400 dongle and Logitech K810 keyboard and I would like to use the same BT link key under both systems.I have found these instruction:https://unix.stackexchange.com/ques...of-windows-linux-mint-ubuntu-stop-having-to-p

However when I try to go to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\

the there are no keys store there. I tried looking in the same place under ControlSet01, but no success as well.I also tried a software that takes image of the registers and compares the original state of registers with the new state after I paired the keyboard but it found over 3000 changes so I was also not very succesfull there.

I'm starting to think that there is some proprietary gimmick tied either to the BT400 dongle or the keyboard, that resuts in the link key being stored elsewhere, instead of the registers.

Thank you in advance.

Can't get Bluetooth working...

If your sure that its recognised properly then have a look on this links page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/

The only thing i can think of to fix if it isnt recognised by linux is the following:

Firstly you have to find out what chipset your bluetooth dongle uses.
Secondly i think your going to have to basically compile your own kernel and include the module for the chipset that your bluetooth dongle uses.
Thirdly depending on if you add it to the kernel or as like built in you will have to add the name of the module to a config file which is used when you boot linux.

If the kernel doesnt have support for your bluetooth dongle then you can either try and find a different copy of the kernel which does or try and find the driver for it.

To recompile your own kernel however requires a whole guide itself , plus different linux distro's will have different kernels with different options and slightly different config files.

Only thing i can suggest is going to www.gentoo.org and reading through their handbook, its basically step by step setting up linux manually, in the handbook there is a page or two on recompiling your kernel for your particular configuration.

Hi,

I would suggest to perform some basic troubleshooting steps by following the article to find out the reason and to update the Bluetooth driver.

Check the Status of the Bluetooth in Device Manager and update it:

• Search Device Manager using Cortana.
• Right click Bluetooth drivers and select the Update driver software.

Check also if the Bluetooth service on your laptop is enabled by following this steps:

• Press Windows key + R and type service.msc
• Search for Bluetooth Support Service.
• Right click on the Service and click on Enable.

Let us know how it goes.
