Q: Bluetooth driver on windows 10 not working
Hi,
I've installed the latest version of the boot camp drivers (6) in Windows 10, however the only thing not working now is my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard.
It notes 'driver error' when I try to connect (it finds the device fine)
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks
MacBook Pro with Retina display, Other OS, Windows 10

Partially, by using the standard windows bluetooth drivers instead of the Apple one, but you'll lose some functionality (fn+backspace for delete, etc), I've posted the question + my answer here:
In the device manager, uninstall the following drivers and then restart your computer:
- Keyboards\Apple Keyboard (only the one with the warning sign, the other one is your macbook keyboard)
- Bluetooth\Device Identification Service
- Bluetooth\ xxx's Keyboard
- Bluetooth\Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator
- Bluetooth\Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator
Not sure if uninstalling all those devices is necessary, but this worked for me (only uninstalling the keyboard driver wasn't enough for me).
Update: This just reverts to the standard Windows Bluetooth drivers, unfortunately some things are not available (like fn+backspace for delete, fn+down/up for pgdown/pgup)
