Bluetooth Peripheral Device Driver Error - Bootcamp w/ Windows 7 Professional

Dear Super Amazing Fantastic Bluetooth Superhero,


I've got a MacBook Air that I've used bootcamp to install Windows 7 Professional.

Everything is pretty great except my bluetooth connectivity is not functional while booted in Windows.

When I go to device manager, it shows 2 to 3 Bluetooth Peripheral Devices not properly installed.

I've tried several times, from different approaches to install these drivers. But to no avail.

Searching the internet shows me that this is a somewhat common issue. However, the solutions tend to be specific to the computer type.

I had this issue with a similar set up with my MacMini and solved it with this:

(I normally wouldn't go for this sortof middleware, but I was desparate. Much as I am now, haha)

I tried this software with my Air and it failed me.


I can post pics/screen caps and will be checking by regularly.

If you need any information: specifics or attempted solutions, etc, please ask!


Can anyone help?


Thanks you kindly.

MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012), Windows 7
