    MacBook Pro 15-inch 2017 Bootcamp Bluetooth not working


    As a Bootcamp user, I haven't made Bluetooth on Windows 10 functional even once. It can discover devices but the connection is rarely successful. Even if by chance something, like a keyboard Logitech K480, is connected, it takes less than a minute for the connection to break for no reason. Every device I tried to connect pairs and connects without trouble with other Bluetooth devices and this very same computer when in macOS.

    Sometimes after repeatedly trying to connect devices, the Bluetooth just vanishes from both the Settings and the Control Center. The Device Manager shows error code 43 on Bluetooth Radio which can't be fixed by reinstalling driver/device, reenabling device, or running the Troubleshooter.


    I've just updated to the very latest stable build of Windows 10. The issue persists. Checking the Apple Software Updater returns no new driver updates. Tried reinstalling every driver downloaded from macOS doesn't help either this rolls back every driver to its stock version.


    I've posted the same thing in the Feedback Hub. However, I realized I'm never a Insider user so I decide to post it in the normal community. Thanks for spending time reading this.

    :)

    Microsoft bluetooth radio on Windows 10 on Macbook pro 2017/2018 Bootcamp

    ok,

    I have read through a lot of articles relating to issues with Bluetooth in windows 10 on MacBook pro via bootcamp. Environment:

    MacBook pro 2017/2018 (high sierra)

    windows 10 1803/1809/1903

    latest bootcamp drivers (6.1)

    so, people are having issues from connecting to Bluetooth mice, airpods cutting out, etc etc.

    what we have found is that windows is using the Microsoft drivers dated 2006 and not the apple broadcom built in drivers.


    MacBook Pro 15-inch 2017 Bootcamp Bluetooth not working bc99946c-8d8b-4bc8-9a5d-c4d84286e26b?upload=true.png


    what we have done:

    1. updated windows 10 the latest build (1903)

    2. used windows update to search the online catalog

    3. tried to install the apple built in drivers (we had to uncheck compatable drivers, and choose the built in drivers from Apple). When we do that,we get a error code 10 where the device cannot be started.

    4. uninstalled the drivers and restart

    5. tried on a few MacBook pros - all with the same result.

    6. downloaded the windows support via mac action-->download windows support

    7. used a product called brigadier to download and extract latest bootcamp for those MacBook pro models (14,1 , 14,2)

    we cant seem to get the correct drivers to be installed

    We have read so many support articles/forums where people have the same issue BUT there was no real resolution. People seemed to give up and used the 2006 drivers.

    we want to remove the MS Bluetooth driver using pnputil, but reluctant to do so.

    Windows on Macbook Pro using Bootcamp

    Hi,

    You need support software (drivers) installed with Boot Camp to use Windows 10. This software is automatically downloaded when you use Boot Camp Assistant. Boot Camp supports 64-bit versions of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro when used with a supported
    Mac. Here are the list that supports Windows 10:

    • MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
    • MacBook Air (2012 and later)
    • MacBook (2015 and later)
    • iMac Pro (2017)iMac (2012 and later)
    • Mac mini (2012 and later)
    • Mac mini Server (Late 2012)
    • Mac Pro (Late 2013)

    We also suggest that you check and follow the steps shared by Andre Da Costa on this
    thread on how to setup Windows 10 on your Mac using Boot Camp.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Bluetooth Mouse not working on Windows 10 (bootcamp)

    Hi,

    I have a Macbook Pro 2017 running Win10 (BootCamp). I bought a bluetooth mouse (Logitech M337). The mouse works fine when used in Mac OS. But when I use it on Windows 10 OS (BootCamp) it does not work. I assume there should be a problem on the software
    (driver) since the mouse is working on the MAC OS side of my Macbook Pro.

    I'm not sure of this is related but this system event on windows viewer is present every time I try to use the bluetooth mouse.
