When I plug in my adapter it reinstalls my keyboard and mouse then it it installs itself. I had windows 8.1 it did the same and now I have windows 10 technical preview. If i go to pc settings and devices it shows up bt 2.0 but no bluetooth settings. I am trying to connect my ps3 ex-01 so I can use it for skype as my old mic broke. The adapter is from a company called bluesolei.

OK I had a problem like this. All my bluetooth devices (headphones, keyboard, 3 phones) would pair with windows 10 but only connect for a second if they connected at all. I spent 10 freaking hours trying to fix it and I was determined. I scoured the web and tried everything including uninstalling drivers, using compatibility mode, and about 50 other things I can't even remember (by the time I was done it was like 4 AM). Nothing worked. I finally found a post about a guy who couldn't get his windows 10 device to connect with his car. It was off topic but I was desperate. Sorry I don't have the link. Here's the deal. Uninstall all the bluetooth enumerators and devices (I didn't uninstall the radio and it didn't seem to make a difference). Turn off your internet connection. This is the important part that nobody can figure out. Uninstall you HIDs in device manager. Restart computer. Turn on internet. Re-pair devices. Worked for me - I really hope it helps so you aren't stuck like I was. It is really frustating that they released an unfinished operating system that the OEMs didn't even have a chance to make proper drivers for. Then they blame it on your computer saying it is just no compatible. I took their compatibility test. I passed and installed windows 10 and am still having tons of issues. Then they actually tried to say the compatibility test they released was faulty. They really need to get it together. Grrr.

I can tell you what happened to work for me. I have a CSR8510 dongle that worked in Windows 8.1 but not 10. The steps I took were to uninstall the bluetooth device, install a Microsoft bluetooth driver by doing the manual update driver/I have a disk option. When that didn't work, I uninstalled the device again and scanned for hardware changes. It installed the original driver again but this time it worked for me.

Hope yo can find the same results
