Windows 10: How to update your "bluetooth" Drivers?

Hi Microsoft.So I am getting some issues connecting to my "Third Party Controller". I lost the access to my controller "Manual" and the "Manufacturer's" website. the issue is its asking for a "PIN", i have tried the Default Pins like "0000" , "1111" , "1234" and "1010". I have tried Everything, After Some Research, i found out that pin issues can also happen because of "Ourdated" Drivers. I have tried "Snappy Driver Updater", it gave me a driver that makes it recognize the device as a "USB" Symbol. Please help me as soon as possible.Thank you.Prakhar.
