Maybe try this.
Go to device manager and uninstall the MS blutetooth radio drivers.
Fing the .inf file for the correct drivers and right click -> install.

Didn't try that, but what finally got it working was right
clicking generic bluetooth radio, update driver, advanced, choose

Now it works fine. thanks!
