Q: Bluetooth Driver under Windows 10 with Bootcamp
Hello,
I have an iMac 27' late 2012, running El Capitan.
I recently installed Windows 10 on Bootcamp, and everything went fine.
Except for one thing:
No matter what I do, I can't get the bluetooth module running.
Specifically, its called "Bluetooth USB Host Controller".
Code 28, drivers were not installed. there are no compatible drivers.
I tried Bootcamp 5.1.5621 and 5.1.5722 drivers.
I even tried with manipulating the driver file by adding the Hardware ID.
I even tried AppleBluetoothBroadcomInstaller64 from kb.parallels.
This is pretty sad I think, because the reason why I wanted Windows 10, was that two bluetooth headsets I tried to pair with Windows 7, didn't work.
I tried a lot of things, including different drivers, external bluetooth software. no stable solution possible, although magic mouse and keyboard worked perfectly. specifically, i tried the sony sbh20 and nokia bh111.
And another funny thing: Apple Magic Mouse and Keyboard work fine under Windows 10 (except for the scrolling function of the magic mouse).
I read the other threads. Essentially, the message was: "We have to wait for the next bootcamp drivers from apple".
Appreciate any help.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4), Late 2012

I found a way, how you can install the driver.
First you disable the digital signature enforcement
Then you manually edit the Bootcamp Bluetooth driver (AppleBluetoothInstaller64) and install it
Bluetooth Host Controller driver doesn't work
I experienced lags and delays. If you just wait about 5 minutes without playing any audio, and then play a song or a youtube video for instance, it appears stable.
