Windows 10: Generic Bluetooth Radio Adapter not getting installed.

Hi,

I have a HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx and I have windows 10 installed on my device. The generic bluetooth radio adapter was working fine till I installed iobit driver booster and installed updates for my device. Since then I have been unable to connect to my wireless headphones or veen search for it. I tried system restore but it did not work. Earlier, when the same problem had occured, I had installed the driver for generic bluetooth radio driver and it had been working fine. Bu tnow when I try to install the same driver, it does not and I can still see generic bluetooth adapter driver instead of generic bluetooth radio adapter. Now I am in a fix. System restore does not work and reinstalling also doesn't work. Also I have tried to install the ralink motorola bc8 adapter driver from the official HP site with compatibility set to windows 7 and then tried to install the generic radio bluetooth driver but still the same problem persists. Please help quickly, I have to do urgent work with my device.

:)

Bluetooth Technology Gets Faster With Bluetooth 3.0

From its annual All Hands Meeting in Tokyo this week, the Bluetooth SIG formally adopted Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed (HS), or Bluetooth 3.0. This latest iteration of the popular short-range wireless technology fulfills the consumers' need for speed while providing the same wireless Bluetooth experience – faster. Manufacturers of consumer electronics and home entertainment devices can now build their products to send large amounts of video, music and photos between devices wirelessly at speeds consumers expect.
Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 + HS will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.


"Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, this latest version was 'born to go fast,' said Mike's Blog, Ph.D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG. "Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth 3.0 + HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN."

This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 + EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of theBluetooth specification, v3.0 + HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release. Once products reach the market, the easiest way for consumers to learn which devices are compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices is to visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

Applications
With the availability of Bluetooth version 3.0 + HS, consumers can expect to move large data files of videos, music and photos between their own devices and the trusted devices of others, without the need for cables and wires. Some applications consumers will experience include:

• Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
• Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
• Send video files from camera or phone to computer or television

Availability

The Bluetooth SIG's formal adoption of the specification is only the first step in the product lifecycle. News out today from wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies Atheros, Broadcom and CSR shows the second step – getting silicon solutions to device manufacturers – is already underway. End products for consumers are expected to be in the market in 9 to 12 months.

Technical Specifications
This new specification release includes several major enhancements (learn more here - page requires member login):

• Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)
• 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL)
• Generic Test Methodology
• Enhanced Power Control
• Unicast Connectionless Data

Generic Bluetooth Radio

Hi Gordon,

You can downlod the Generic Bluetooth Driver for Windows 10 through this link: Generic Bluetooth Radio Drivers Download. If it doesn't fix your problem
then try to update your bluetooth driver through this program called Driver Booster. You can download it here: Driver Booster Download. it will automatically update
all of your old/missing drivers and then restart the PC. It does not need any payment or account registration so I highly suggest it.

Please reply if the issue still remains so that I can help you with solving it .
