    Trouble Replacing Bluetooth Adapter


    My Dell Vostro came with an embedded Bluetooth adapter. However, I have had so many issues with bluetooth, that I decided to get a new adapter from Amazon. I installed the adapter and tried uninstalling the embedded adapter from Device Manager though the embedded adapter keeps reappearing after I turn off/on again. I believe my computer is still using the embedded adapter, and not the new adapter. See image below. What can I do to fix this?

    :)

    troubles with my Realtek WLAN/BlueTooth adapter


    "Anyone any idea how to install the drivers mentioned above? As Windows Update does not 'see' them."
    It does not see them because that is your list of hidden updates. You can simply check the ones you want to go thru and the next Windows Update will see them but auto install, so be careful if you don't actually want them.

    "I am having troubles with my Realtek WLAN/BlueTooth adapter, so I would like to try a driver update."
    Best thing to do and not screw up the list of Hidden Updates you already have, is go to Device Manager (Win+X), expand Bluetooth to see installed drivers. Then r-click the driver/Update Driver Software/Search automatically ... If there is a newer one, it will auto install. Test, if not happy roll back by doing same steps except click Properties and use roll back option. Good Luck

    Promate Bluetooth™ 4.0 USB Adapter !

    Hello Everyone

    I have just bought the above mentioned bluetooth adapter but unfortunately cant manage to connect my bluetooth headset with it (does not find the device in pairing mode, keeps searching)! I have downloaded and installed the latest driver for this device from the promate website. Any suggestions?

    OS - Win7 64 bit

    No, this is the list of available updates, according to wushowhide.diagcab. I can tick them in order to hide them, not to unhide them, really. All of them are unticked. But these driver updates are not available through 'normal' Windows Update, unfortunately.


    I tried that earlier, but no updates were available.
    Still, because the RTL8723BS is not working well, I hope theree is actually an update available, as the above list seems to say...
