By enabling the Bluetooth adapter in Ubuntu and then switching back to Windows 10 it remains working! The steps in short are:Ģ) Make a bootable usb-stick using Rufus and the Ubuntu isoģ) Boot your laptop to Ubuntu (you can use it 'live' so you don't need to install anything!)Ĥ) Go to settings and enable Bluetooth. However, I found a fix! Windows 10 often does not even recognize this Bluetooth adapter in device manager, however it works flawlessly by default in Ubuntu (a popular Linux distribution). Installing older drivers in compatibility mode or default Windows bluetooth drivers did not work for me (and many others).
The main problem is that Broadcom decided not to make drivers for Windows 10 available. On the internet I have found a lot of forum posts with this problem, however without working fixes. This is a fix to get the Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth adapter working on Windows 10 (found in for instance the 2560p Elitebooks)
