Where can I find Windows 10 Bluetooth drivers for my mid-2011 Macbook Pro?

I have installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview on my mid-2011 MacBook Pro 13-inch. I had been running Windows 7 with no problems. The installation had been done using Apple's BootCamp software. The problem is that, in Windows 10 Device Manager, my Bluetooth USB Host Controller (found in "Other Devices") shows that no drivers are installed. Worse yet, when I click on Properties for the device, I get:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

And, of course, no bluetooth radios show up in the Device Manager. Note that all of this was working perfectly in Windows 7.

Does anyone have any ideas?

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2), Windows 10 Technical Preview

1) Download from http://kb.parallels.com/Attachments/kcs-6577/AppleBluetoothBroadcomInstaller64.e xe

2) Extract the AppleBluetoothBroadcomInstaller64.exe with 7zip or anything else

3) Go to Device manager find the bluetooth device problem :

4) Update Driver Software > Browser my computer for driver software > let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk > Browse the extracted folder > OK > Next > Close

5) Its should worked again.

Do you use Sleep and/or Hibernate? The '#2' can be a problem.

Can you test without putting the BC/Windows to sleep with 'Never'?

Can you clarify, if you are on a 2011 Mac using W10? What is the current BT driver version?

Ok, thanks.

I downloaded and searched through the Bootcamp.xml file.

These seem to be the relevant lines:

Can you create a Windows System Restore point, and try the legacy driver (#4)?

On the Windows side, can you run msinfo32 and post the value of BIOS Mode?

It is legacy BIOS. Can you test the BC 5.x drivers installation after you disable the Signature enforcement?

Are you successfully able to pair the Mouse and Keyboard and use them in Windows? If yes, you can now pair them on the macOS side. This usually is due to stored 'link keys' being corrupted.

The Keyboard pairing should ask for a code to be entered, and it should also be displayed on your screen. It is usually not '0000'. On the macOS side, it should be a six-digit code.

Does the keyboard pair/connect after a power cycle? You should also check the battery on Keyboard, if it has removable batteries.

Can you un-pair the Keyboard from all known devices before you try to pair it to Windows?
