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

Update:


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 well... I could FINALLY pair my bluetooth headset. BUT... the sound quality is horrible, and it lags and delays.


Any help would be nice.

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.
