Bluetooth not working on 2020 Macbook pro 13" Windows bootcamp

Hi there I am using the above macbook (M/N a2251). I have tried several revisions of Broadcom network drivers but cannot get them to successfully install as they always error out. I installed and am currently using the drivers that came with the bootcamp "install windows software support" option but cannot connect bluetooth devices in Windows. Any suggestions on how to get it to work?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.4

Bluetooth in Bootcamp Bluetooth in Bootcamp is not functional. It does not allow for more than one wireless controller to connect at a time and, when using wireless headphones, audio cuts in an out the moment a second Bluetooth device is connected. In device manager, I do not have anything titled "Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth" nor do I have an option for bluetooth collaboration under advanced settings for Broadcom Network Adapter. I have tried using version .3 and .4 of broadcom driver to no avail. Below are screenshots from device manager. I was on the phone with Apple Support and they say that they are not responsible for fixing this, and that I should talk to Microsoft. Microsoft was also unable to help me. I have tried updating windows, updating Bootcamp, reinstalling Bootcamp drivers from usb, and fresh install of Windows. Nothing's worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Bluetooth not working on MacBook Air Hello! The bluetooth on my computer is saying "Not Available" and I cannot turn it on through network settings. I was told to update to Mojave, which I did, and it is still not working? Any ideas on what I can do to get bluetooth working? Thank you!

Bluetooth now working on Boot Camp I have a 2020 13” MacBook Pro (BigSur 11.0.1), Bluetooth works fine on macOS. On Windows 10, it doesn’t work. When in Windows, Bluetooth is on, I can see other devices, but it seems other devices cannot see the computer. As a result, if I try to connect a device nothing happens. I tried to pair the device on the macOS side and then reboot and see if the info has been shared between the OSes, but it didn’t work. I run the setup.exe from a USB stick with the latest Boot Camp drivers, but it didn’t work as well. If I go in Device Manager on Windows, under Bluetooth I see Bluetooth Radio, but under properties there is no ‘Power Management’ tab and if I try to update the driver and choose from a list of available drivers there is no Apple Inc in the list. Finally, if I go in Network adapters, in properties for Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter under the ‘Advanced’ tab there is no ‘Bluetooth Collaboration’ option. My Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter is on 101.10.152.5 version and Bluetooth Radio is on 10.0.19041.1 version. Can please someone help me or point me to a solution? Kind Regards
