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

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.

Since W10 is not officially supported, the closest appropriate driver is in Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621 package. Can you download and check the Bootcamp.xml and check the version of Broadcom drivers in the package? Do not install it.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) - Technical Specifications

Bootcamp Driver: Apple Broadcom Built-in Bluetooth 5/10/2010 3.2.0.1

I then manually upgraded, following the instructions on this thread to:

Broadcom Corporation 27/1/2012 6.5.1.1785

with similar results as described above.

Yes.

• BT: Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adapters > Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter. I then right clicked and chose "Properties". Under the "Advanced" tab, I highlighted the setting named "Bluetooth Collaboration", and it was already set to "Enable".
• Wifi: No such setting that I could find.

However, while I was in Device Manager, I noticed that along with the Broadcom 802.11n Network Adapter there were these two BT devices:

• Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network) #2; and
• Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)

My Bluetooth settings show three discoverable devices:

1. My Mac Keyboard;
2. My Magic Mouse; and
3. My iMac (in another room).

When I try to pair with 1 & 2, I get an error, and a request to make them discoverable (which they obviously were, or I would not have got to the Pair button).

Yes, I set the Power Options as follows:

• Turn off Display = Never.
• Put the computer to sleep = Never.

Then I rebooted and ran for a while and tested Bluetooth. Got the same errors, where it attempts to Pair and then says, contradicting itself, that the device is not discoverable.

BTW with whatever driver I can connect my iMac to my MBP in Windows 10 Bootcamp with Bluetooth without problems, with full pairing and codes exchanged. (BTW2 Keyboard and mouse connect fine to any Mac, just not in Windows 10).

Ok.

Bootcamp5.1.5621/Bootcamp/Drivers/Broadcom/

1. BroadcomCardReader64.exe
2. BroadcomComController64.exe
3. BroadcomCardEthernet64.exe
4. BroadcomCardWirelessLegacy64.exe
5. BroadcomCardWirelessWin7x64.exe
6. BroadcomCardWirelessWin8x64.exe

Creating the restore point has failed, giving me this error:

Windows 10: The shadow copy provider had an error 0x80042306

It appears that this is also related to an Apple driver in Bootcamp:

• "In this case, the problem is with the Apple system drivers for mounting HFS volumes. These files are AppleHFS.sys and AppleMNT.sys."
• See Microsoft Community

Give me a bit of time and I'll work through this, then hopefully I'll try again with the Broadcom driver when these other drivers are fixed and I can create the restore point.

ridhoyp's solution was promising, restoring some of the functionality, but in the end didn't work.

Part of the issue here is that different Mac's require different solutions, I think. The OP was looking for a solution for a mid-2011 MBP whereas most of the successful fixes here are for later machines.

My problem - I've running Windows 10 on my Late 2011 MBP in Bootcamp. I'd upgraded from Windows 7 where I'd been running bluetooth sucessfully. However, the Late 2011 MBP is not supported by Apple for Windows 10 though many people are using it successfully nevertheless. After some fiddling with Windows Services I got my Magic Mouse and Apple Keyboard working okay. However in the past little while, I noticed that I could not connect to my BT speaker or other devices. In fact, the speaker wasn't discoverable, but only on this machine. In the course of taking online advice, I deleted my Magic Mouse from Bluetooth, and then it wasn't discoverable either, and my keyboard had also dropped off for no apparent reason.

So the search for drivers.... I did a uninstall and reinstall using the default Apple driver, but the problem persisted. I tried ridhyop's solution, which made the mouse and keyboard discoverable (improvement), but pairing was too flaky to work. I search on!

I have my Power Options control panel set as follows:

Turn off Display = 5 minutes.

Put the computer to sleep = 15 minutes.

If I set the latter to "Never" is that what you'd recommend?

Ok, thanks.

I downloaded and searched through the Bootcamp.xml file.

These seem to be the relevant lines:

I downloaded Sysinternals Autoruns, and ran it under Administrator, and turned AppleHFS.sys off, and then created a Restore Point without difficulty.

Then I extracted the Broadcom Drivers folder and ran BroadcomCardWirelessLegacy64.exe. However, it gave an error saying that:

"The Device Driver Installation Wizard did not update any of your software for your hardware devices because it was not better than the software that you currently have installed."

I tried rolling back my installed driver, and then running it, and I tried to install the drivers manually, but couldn't find them independently of the package. Also not sure why a Wireless driver will help Bluetooth.

Next steps, please?

I had a slight diversion: the restore did not work, with me getting the error:

System Restore failed 0x80070091 in Windows 10 (Solved)

Having followed Method 2 in the link above, I now have restore working.

Back to the Bluetooth drawing board...

There is collaboration between BT and Wireless. W10 is problematic on a 2011 model, if clean installed. We are trying to find a driver that will work. What is the possibility of installing W7/W8.1 on this Mac temporarily?

I'm not enthusiastic for that, given I have a 95% working version, except for Bluetooth, sound and some keyboard issues which I understand are common. I had upgraded fromWin7 to Win10. Let me try a few other options and get back.
