Windows 10: Reinstalled bluetooth driver manually to fix my BT unstable connection and now I can't even...

I tried uninstalled the driver and download a new one at Intel https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/30121?v=t and it's still doesn't work. Help, I don't even know the original version of my driver to begin with and now I'm at a dead end. I've attached a screenshot of my system information

Intel Bluetooth not functional

Hi!

I have seem to run into some issues with my Compute Stick m3, and W10 (2004). On the stick there is an Intel® Wireless-AC 8260 + Bluetooth 4.2 hardware available.

It was working fine until few days ago. After updating W10 I got some crashes on shutdown related to BTHport.sys. Bluetooth is no longer functional and I have noticed that the Device Manager keeps refreshing every 5 seconds or so. When I uninstall the BT device, refreshing stops, and Windows automatically reinstalls drivers (Or I can do it manually). When the driver is installed for the first time - a number of enties is listed under BT in the Device Manager and everything works fine. I am able to connect any BT device.

Upon the first restart, however, there is only Intel Wireless Bluetooth entry left under the BT in Device Manager, and no BT connection is available. Fix/Scan BT reports that it cannot enable the BT. Refresh keeps happening...

Tried few different Intel BT drivers - No luck,

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thank you!

 

Bluetooth Headphones connected but not working (saying driver not available).

For added clarity on the links that we've provided, the steps indicated on this
link will lead to the FAQ's for further
troubleshooting on Bluetooth concerns, wherein if after manually uninstalling and reinstalling the driver retrieved from the manufacturer of your Bluetooth that the last step is submitting a report through the Feedback Hub so our Microsoft Engineers will be
able to investigate further on this concern.

If this method has been performed, you can submit a feedback by following these steps:

• Clicking Cortana.
• Key in "Feedback".
• Click on the Feedback Hub.
• On the sub-category, choose Hardware, Device and Drivers, Bluetooth - Setup, Upgrade, Update.
• Click on Add a Feedback, and if possible, include the hardware ID on file.

If you have further query, feel free to reply to this post.

Regards.

 

Can't get Bluetooth working...

If your sure that its recognised properly then have a look on this links page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/

The only thing i can think of to fix if it isnt recognised by linux is the following:

Firstly you have to find out what chipset your bluetooth dongle uses.
Secondly i think your going to have to basically compile your own kernel and include the module for the chipset that your bluetooth dongle uses.
Thirdly depending on if you add it to the kernel or as like built in you will have to add the name of the module to a config file which is used when you boot linux.

If the kernel doesnt have support for your bluetooth dongle then you can either try and find a different copy of the kernel which does or try and find the driver for it.

To recompile your own kernel however requires a whole guide itself , plus different linux distro's will have different kernels with different options and slightly different config files.

Only thing i can suggest is going to www.gentoo.org and reading through their handbook, its basically step by step setting up linux manually, in the handbook there is a page or two on recompiling your kernel for your particular configuration.
