Microphone from QC35 (bluetooth headset) does not work on Windows (Bootcamp)

Hello all,


I have a MB Pro 16' from 2019 running OS X Catalina and Windows 10 (Bootcamp).


My BT Headset (QC35) works ok under OS X, both audio and microphone. But on Windows the microphone is not detected, I can only use audio.


This is probably related to this issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250844237?page=1.


If I use a $1 USB Bluetooth adapter and disable the built-in one then windows recognizes my phone as a Headset and I can use the Mic, but I didn't want to waste a USB port with it.


Can anyone help?

Thank you for the chuckle. But no. Their solution is essentially, don't use Windows on our machines.


Be like the rest of our hardware users that love the smell of their own farts.


I'm an abomination because I game on mine. With an Xbox Controller. And all I wanted was for my $3,500 machine to allow me use BT headphones when gaming. Not even Airpods Pro works, lol.
