I also don't see the bluetooth pref on my preference directory. I suspect that the drivers for the bluetooth device aren't installed properly but I thought this chipset was suppose to be plug and play for osx?

I recently purchased an early 2015 13" Macbook Pro in which I have installed the Windows 10 technical preview on through Boot Camp Assistant. The initial build that I installed was 10162 and I had no issues installing the OS or the Boot Camp drivers. I had bluetooth connectivity with my Magic Mouse and all was well. Yesterday I updated Windows 10 to build 10166 and now Windows doesn't recognize the Bluetooth chipset. I tried running the troubleshooting tool in Windows and it says no driver could be found online. I'm assuming that there was a change from build 10162 and 10166 that caused this to happen and I guess I'll have to wait for Apple to update the Bluetooth Boot Camp drivers after the actual release of Windows 10. The drivers for the WiFi, camera, trackpad, etc... all seem to be working fine, it's just the Bluetooth driver that I seem to be having a problem with. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, have you found a resolution?

I have a mid 2014 MBP 15" running Windows 10 Build 10240 under Boot Camp 5.1.5640. I upgraded to Windows 10 directly from Windows 8.1 x64. I too cannot get Bluetooth to work, and am hopeful that Apple will address this with a newer Boot Camp version following the official release of Windows 10.

This configuration is merely a "sandbox" for me, as I prefer to work under OS X. However, I know some people who are wanting to run Windows 10 natively on Apple hardware (they've never latched on to OS X despite several attempts), and this issue is a potential show-stopper.

Thank you Loner; I was not able to get the Apple Boot Camp Bluetooth driver to work, but that generic Bluetooth Driver Installer mentioned in that thread did. Hopefully we won't need to use such workarounds in the relatively near future.

For the record, I've installed the released version of Windows 10 "fresh" (not an upgrade) via Boot Camp on two different MBPs now, and haven't had any Bluetooth problems...didn't need to use the third-party tool. So perhaps only upgrades are plagued by this?

I have a Late 2013 MB Pro, same bluetooth problem. I have tried all the different drives helpful people have posted. No joy. And since windows cannot find a driver on a net search either, I do not think it has anything to do with how the install is done. If Microsoft had access to a working driver the search would find it.

I have to believe it is variations in the broadcom chipset apple has used. Like you, everything else seems to be working (I did load the keyboard driver posted in the forums which restored the special function keys).

I think we are just going to have to wait on Apple to get bluetooth to work on some machines. I have no doubt Apple will release a driver, the question is when. I think Apple has lagged earlier Windows releases by 4-6 months. I am betting on drivers before the end of the year.

When i registered for the free upgrade on my Imac boot-camp copy of win 8.1 a report showed in the "get windows 10" app that the Bluetooth driver contained in boot-camp is not compatible with Windows 10 and to get updated driver from Apple. So we will have to wait for an update to boot-camp (i'm sure apple will be in a massive hurry to get that installed so people can use the much acclaimed and desired windows os!! ?. I would suggest using the generic Bluetooth driver suggested in one of the replies to this post, (maybe the one who stated the generic Bluetooth driver works can post a link to the download for that) if not you can use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo such as a Logitech keyboard.

Put simply, Bluetooth is a short-range-radio technical standard for protocols that facilitate communication between wireless devices such as mobile phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants) and handheld computers, and wireless computers and peripherals.

The Bluetooth wireless mouse and the Bluetooth wireless mobile phone headset are good examples. Switch on your Bluetooth-enabled phone and it can quickly be paired up with a Bluetooth-enabled headset. A Bluetooth mouse doesn't need wires to move the curser about your screen and execute commands.

For drivers, Bluetooth could be a saviour, especially if teamed up with voice recognition technology. Imagine a world in which you place your mobile in its holder on the dash and tell it to dial a number while you listen on your sleek and very discreet headset - a godsend in countries or states that prohibit use of hand-held mobiles while driving.

New York-based Frost and Sullivan, marketing consultants who specialize in information and intelligence on emerging high-technology, reckon that by 2010, more than 16% of all cars sold in North America will have Bluetooth technology installed. The current level is about 2.5%. They reckon that in total, almost a billion Bluetooth devices will ship by 2010.

More and more we're carrying our electronic information devices with us: mobile phones, handheld computers, MP3 players, and even DVD players. A society that is hooked on being connected wants to be connected everywhere - in our homes, at the office, in the car and even when we're walking about. And if this is what we want, Bluetooth technology is a very likely candidate for making it happen.

This technology will enable drivers to talk to their Bluetooth -enabled devices rather than having to take their eyes off the road to push buttons and twist knobs. In addition, voice recognition technology could possibly enable automakers to do away with expensive screens or touch input displays.

Another interesting twist is that 'voice biometrics' can be an effective way to determine who's driving the vehicle. Once voice recognition technology is installed in a car it can be used to personalize the vehicle, setting seat position, radio stations, etc. to the driver's preferences.

Radhay,
Try running our free scan (you only need to register if you want to get the automatic driver updates) - this should give you more details on the missing drivers and if they are available
- it's one of the biggest driver databases available so you should be able to find it here ...

If you have one of the ever popular broadcom bluetooth devices you'll usually get a message prompting you to "update bluetooth peripheral device". This is the problem we face most often from our visitors and why we researched it to begin with. Here is a very helpful thread that aptly covers the broadcom bluetooth device problem:

Does anyone know if there is such a thing as a bluetooth device that does not require an pc with operating system or any drivers?

I am after something with "embedded" drivers on a normal USB bluetooth key for a home project (connecting old hifi to PC by bluetooth).

Can anyone help?
