Windows 10: How do I fix the bluetooth driver to connect devices?

Hello, I have purchased a product and the bluetooth driver is giving me errors. Every time I try to update the drivers, it tells me that I have the most recent driver updated. However, the device cannot connect because the computer is telling me that it needs to have the most up to date driver installed to be used. I am trying to get this situation fixed because I am not sure what to do here. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device as well. Constant restarts, all the no avail.

fixed bluetooth driver that doesn't appear but..

Did you check the list of paired devices to make sure the device is not already paired? Sometimes I can't pair a device only to find it is already paired. Even though is is the list of paired devices it still won't connect. To solve that problem I have to delete the device in the list and go through with pairing again. When paired the device will connect again.
