Bluetooth not seen in Windows

I installed Windows 8.1 through BootCamp and Bluetooth device is not recognized by Windows. I am talking about the new 2015 12' macbook.

It is not seen in the device manager list.

Any Help?

MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015), Windows 8

Thanks, MacBooks911. I can stop searching for a solution for now, knowing this is an issue for everyone. By the way... I have the new new XPS 13 you're ordering. It's a great laptop. The infinity display is very nice. You won't be disappointed.


Getting back to the BT issue for the MB 12... for now, I've just attached a USB hub and placed a BT dongle to use for my mouse and keyboard while the internal BT functionality is inoperable. The dongle works like a charm. You can pick one up for a few bucks.

I just updated to bootcamp 6 on my windows 10 pro on macbook retina 2015 12inch.

Now the system recognizes bluetooth.

I tried to connect my apple magic mouse, the system sees the mouse but when I try to connect it, it tries forever, and the mouse doesn't get paired.

The mouse works fine on mac os X.

I tried to pair the same magic mouse via blootooth on other two computers with windows 10 installed on them, and the mouse works perfectly there.

I suspect there's a but in the apple magic mouse drivers in bootcamp, don't think it's the bluetooth driver, although not absolutely sure.

I tried to pair another computer via blootooth on my mac on windows 10 and it works just fine, that led me think the apple magic drivers of bootcamp have some problem on windows 10... any suggestion would be very welcome!
Thanks

There is an issue with BT pairing and link keys that are generated when devices are paired. The simpler method (which does not always work), is to unfair the mouse from OS X side, such that it has no paired devices at all. Pair to Windows first and then once functional, pair it to OS X and test both sides.


There is a more convoluted/complicated solution with Link Keys at http://www.tonymacx86.com/general-help/72201-dual-booting-windows-7-mac-mountain -lion-both-magic-trackpad-magic-mouse-bluetooth-setup.html .
