Realtek Bluetooth Driver Windows 10
Eufrasia Radich
Is this a known issue? Or more to the point: is there a way to tell Update to simply update anyway and I'll accept that I'll never get to use the Realtek Bluetooth radio (which I don't have anyway) again?
First check for non-present devices in Device Manager by enabling hidden items under View/Show hidden devices. If you still don't see your bluetooth device listed, you may have an orphaned driver file like I did.
It seems that your Realtek Bluetooth driver is too outdated,as described in the Microsoft article

After investigation, I find the root reason for causing such problem is the old Realtek Bluetooth driver. The compatibility issues are found on the Windows 10 computers on which the drivers for Realtek Bluetooth radios are too old; if the Windows 10 Bluetooth driver version you are running now on your device is earlier than 1.5.1012, you are not able to update the current operating system to Windows 10 version 1909.
Some compatibility issues have been discovered by Microsoft; for instance, some driver versions for Bluetooth radios made by Realtek are not compatible with the new versions of Windows 10. The What needs your attention window will appear and point out the problem. Microsoft asks you to visit aka.ms/realtek_bt_1_5 to learn more.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a motherboard bundle from eBay consisting of an ASUS Prime B360-PLUS and and i5 8600. After upgrading my existing components I decided to do a full re-install of windows 11. I usually just let windows update install drivers as it is usually fine but this time I believe that it has installed a wrong/old audio driver and possibly others too. I noticed that it installed a program called Realtek HD Audio Manager which looks like this really old software from 2014. I checked the driver that was installed and it was from 2016. I presumed it would install a new driver and Realtek audio console from the Microsoft store instead.
Instead, I downloaded the Realtek driver for windows 10 on my laptop just to see how it would be installed but after extracting the zip file, there isn't really a clear way to install it - there's multiple 'setup' or 'install' exe's/cmd files and it's confusing me on which one is the correct one.
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your specs and context.
Regarding your description, we recommend referring to the following two FAQs:
Is there any suggestion procedure to install the drivers?
How to search and download Drivers, Utilities, BIOS, and User Manuals
[Windows 11/10] How to Install Drivers Downloaded from the ASUS Site
According to the official website of the PRIME B360-PLUS, drivers for Windows 11 are available in the OS drop-down menu.
If needed, please compare the hardware and software specifications provided by the game supplier.
When the setup is running from the bluetooth driver i saw a message during setup it was doing something with the intel smartsound driver (Intel Smart Sound Technology Detection Verification).
Hello MichelN86,
Thank you so much for the response and for providing us with the details that we requested.
We will do further research on this matter and post the response on this thread once it is available.
If you have an OEM driver or a manual-install generic driver issue, please try updating the latest driver using Intel Driver & Support Assistant. Capture video and share it if BT installation issues occur again in the future.
Furthermore, based on our research and some MSI forums, it looks like the BT installation issue occurred only with your laptop. Other MSI users reply that it works fine or that using IDSA is no problem.
I use the intel drivers from your site since last year and since msi does not provide updated drivers ( -15-B12UGSZ/support?sub_product=Crosshair-15-B12UGSZ#driver). I even clean installed (added 2 new nvme drives) the whole system. Every bluetooth driver from intel worked fine during installation except the last 2. If you say you did good research you failed, i posted this issue on the msi forum on my own topic and 1 user reported he had no issues with the install, please point me to the topic where more users say it is working fine for them ??? please do.
We can only suggest that once you have installed the next driver revision, please capture screenshots and videos of the BT/wi-fi driver version and hardware ID from Device Manager, including all impacted drivers as listed in the forum, e.g., Arc, Windows Update, Realtek Audio, Nahimic Audio, Realtek PCIe GbE Family Controller, Intel(R) Dynamic Application Loader Host Interface, Intel(R) Management Engine Interface #1, and Intel Smart Sound Technology Detection Verification, Intel Smart Sound driver, etc., and then please share them with us if the issue occurs again.
By the way, when you reach us again, we recommend that you submit a web ticket, chat, or call. This will allow us to provide more personalized assistance, potentially including remote access, so we can access your system for a more thorough resolution.
