I have installed Windows 7 on MacBook Pro using BootCamp. Usually when turning my Bluetooth headset on and trying to pair it with Mac for the first time, Windows fails to install the drivers and opens a solution in Action Center, which suggests to download the driver from the. This used to work for me before, drivers were installed and everything worked well. However now, when I start the driver installer, it would get stuck at 'Detecting Bluetooth Device' stage.

There is also a warning with text, which says 'Please plug in or turn on your Bluetooth device': I have tried turning my headset on/off, bringing it into pairing mode, installing/uninstalling device to/from the Bluetooth Devices. None of these worked. Apparently what it tries to find is the bluetooth receiver itself, not the device that connect to it (e.g. Headset, mouse etc.). I have no idea why it didn't work with built-in device that is somewhere inside my laptop, but it did with another external bluetooth usb thumb. Once I have plugged it in, the installer has recognized it and installed drivers.

Apparently same drivers worked for my built-in bluetooth, so i just unplugged usb thumb and since then it works for me. Hope this will be useful for someone.

This was driving me nuts. I put in a larger SSD today going from a 120GB to a 240GB and blew away my Windows partition to make the process easier to expand OS X, etc. After installing Windows again, the only thing in Device Manager that wouldn't load was the Bluetooth USB Host Controller. Tried every package in Bootcamp for version 4.0.4033 and 5.0.5033 and no luck.

Finally I came across this site:. Basically, right-click the device in Device Manager, go to Properties, select Details tab, choose Hardware Ids from Property drop down. Copy the shortest value. (For illustration, he reports that his was USB VID05AC&PID8218.). Find your bootcamp drivers and under bootcamp/drivers/apple/x64 copy AppleBluetoothInstaller64 to a folder on your desktop and unzip it. I use WinRAR to extract to the same folder. Find the files that got extracted/unzipped and, using Notepad, edit the file called AppleBT64.inf.

Look for the following lines:; for Windows 7 only Apple.NTamd64.6.1; No action; OS will load in-box driver. Get rid of the last two lines, i.e., the following:; No action; OS will load in-box driver. And add this line (paste your value you got earlier in place of USB VID05ac&PID8218): Apple Built-in Bluetooth=AppleBt, USB VID05ac&PID8218 So in the end it should look like the following:; for Windows 7 only Apple.NTamd64.6.1 Apple Built-in Bluetooth=AppleBt, USB VID05ac&PID8218.

Save the changes. Select Update the driver for the Bluetooth device in Device Manager and point it to the folder with the extracted/unzipped files and it should install the Bluetooth drivers then. Updated: Just found this link as well that does the same thing. Easiest way on Windows 10 this worked for Late Mac 2013 with i7 intel (just figured it out).

Uninstall the current driver from Properties tab. Go back into properties tab and it should give you the option to install a driver because there is none installed.

add driver from list of available drivers already on windows when it prompts you to browse (should be the options underneath the browse one telling you to install from already available windows drivers). on the list shown with all the manufacturers choose Broadcom then under the sub list that appears chose the ANYCOM USB-200/250 Blue tooth Adapter. Itll detect everything on your MacBook and you should be able to connect your mouse to the computer at that point it takes about a minute or two to start seeing the mouse work and I'm assuming any hardware you try to connect will be similar. Not sure why people are making it difficult using editors etc this worked flawlessly.

I'm having a little issue with a driver for upgrading to Windows 10. In the Get Windows 10 app it says that I have a compatibility issue with my Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter that I may not be able to connect to the internet once I upgrade to Windows 10. I was wondering if there was an updated driver for this to fix the problem, and/or if it would be okay to upgrade without it as I tried disabling the adapter and I didn't seem to lose my internet connection (opened up a firefox tab onto Google as well as Youtube and opened a video and it still work perfectly). Thanks for the help in advance and hopefully we can figure this out so I can upgrade and try out the new Windows 10!

Hi, Thank you for your interest in Windows 10. We understand that you're facing issue in upgrading to Windows 10 due to the Broadcom Virtual Wireless Driver not being compatible. Let me guide you in the right direction. Let us know the make and model of the Computer so that we can check for the latest drivers that are available on the manufacturer's website. Which operating system are you trying to Upgrade from? Did you check in the Network card manufacturer's website for the latest drivers?

If not, I suggest that you check in the manufacturer's website for the same to download and install them. Then, check if you face the same compatibility issue or not. You may try disabling the Adapter through Device Manager and try to Upgrade. However, the operations are not guaranteed and as mentioned by the compatibility report you might also face issues with Network after the Upgrade as well. Refer to this article on Get back to us for further assistance regarding this issue. Also I found another thread about this issue and after reading over some of it it seems like I don't need the Virtual Wireless adapter as that's for hotspots, but I may just need an updated version of my Broadcom Network Adapter as I did try upgrading last night and I had a wireless connection for a moment which gave me enough time for the computer to find my wireless and connect to it.but then it decided there was no connection and actually just no networks at all when I clicked the wireless icon in my system tray to show networks so I could connect to one.

I had this issue also with my Get Windows 10 app. The driver is for a virtual device, which means it does not really exist in physical form. I assumed it was for a peer networking app that came with my computer (Dell) and that I never used.

So I disabled the device in Device Manager to see if my actual real physical wireless adapter would still work, it did. So I left the virtual adapter disabled. I now have Windows 10 installed and have wireless networking. Windows 10 did not complain at all during the upgrade.

The virtual adapter now shows as an unknown device in Windows 10 Device Manager. Thanks Sharath I have a Dell Studio XPS 9000 tower, Windows 7 Pro. NIC card up to date. I have presently removed the adapter from the system however since the system has not been re-scanned by MS, the notification still indicates the Broadcom issue. Since de-installation of the adapter, I have attempted to manually download W10, as I did with another Dell XPS not using the Broadcom adapter, but with no luck. All drivers are up to date. Again, this is a wired system connected directly to the router.
