Can't get Apple's Bluetooth drivers installed (Win 10 / Boot Camp)

I'm on a 2017 MacBook Pro, running Windows 10 1809 (for eGPU compatibility).

The Microsoft BT drivers are installed, and I am able to choose the Apple one(s) instead, but then I get an error type 10 on the device.

Furthurmore, I can't seem to completely remove the Microsoft drivers using pnputil, since pnputil -e doesn't list a published name for the drivers I'm looking for.

How can I get the Apple BT drivers in control so that I can use BT devices with my Mac when booted into BootCamp?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Yep, Logitech bluetooth. Works beautifully in macOS. Same behaviour with other BT devices - in Windows, they won't connect.

Okay, I tried that, no difference.

I'm running macOS Catalina, 10.15.7.

Yes, the mouse was paired to macOS when BootCamp was installed.

I'll read up on those articles, thanks.

Before you upgrade, can you enable Bluetooth Collaboration on the .68 version and test? I suggest keeping the .68 driver.
