Bluetooth is not working with Boot Camp after upgrading to Windows 10

Hi,

To enable your Bluetooth, run the Boot Camp Assistant from the Utilities folder on your Mac and install the support software, which includes the latest drivers you need for Bluetooth.

• 
  Check for software updates to make sure OS X, your Mac firmware, and Boot Camp Assistant are
  up to date.
  
• 
  Run Boot Camp Assistant and install the support software, which includes the latest Boot Camp drivers you need for Bluetooth.
  You can find step-by-step directions at Apple’s Support Site here.
  

After reinstalling the drivers, all paired devices from Windows 8.1 should still be paired and usable.

 

To Boot Camp or not to Boot Camp?

Boot Camp still works on Tiger, too. My sister's Mac is still on Tiger, and it still boots to XP when she wants it to. You just can't download it anymore, so you have to already have it. I think it just doesn't update Boot Camp or the drivers anymore, but why fix it if it ain't broke? lol.

 

Boot Camp Assistant not accepting Windows 10 .iso file

The System Integrity Protection in newer versions of OS X prevents modification of Boot Camp Assistant.app/, as suggested by other answers. I tried duplicating the file and I was able to modify the duplicate, but it didn't fix the issue for me.

I solved this problem by tricking Boot Camp Assistant with a Windows 8 ISO.

1. Download both Windows 8 and Windows 10 ISOs from Microsoft (you don't need a license to download the installers).
   
2. Create a copy of the Windows 8 ISO and name it windows.iso.
   
3. Select windows.iso in Boot Camp Assistant. It should accept it.
   
4. When it prompts you to confirm that you want to format the disk, wait.
   
5. Delete windows.iso.
   
6. Open the Trash, right-click on windows.iso and select "Delete Immediately". (Emptying the Trash will fail because it was already opened, but specifying it directly seems to avoid this.)
   
7. Rename the Windows 10 ISO to windows.iso.
   
8. Return to Boot Camp Assisant and confirm, to continue the process.
   

After using the Windows 8 ISO to pass the verification process, it can successfully use the Windows 10 ISO we swap in to create and use an installation disk. I'm making this post from a resulting Windows 10 installation on my iMac.
