It involves some effort and is a pretty weird workaround but has worked for me twice (on two different HP Elitebook 2560p laptops). It should show the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar and work in Windows 10 too!

Double check if it is working, for instance by pairing with another device such as your phone or speakersĦ) Now you are done! Just shutdown Ubuntu, and restart under Windows 10. By enabling the Bluetooth adapter in Ubuntu and then switching back to Windows 10 it remains working! The steps in short are:Ģ) Make a bootable usb-stick using Rufus and the Ubuntu isoģ) Boot your laptop to Ubuntu (you can use it 'live' so you don't need to install anything!)Ĥ) Go to settings and enable Bluetooth. However, I found a fix! Windows 10 often does not even recognize this Bluetooth adapter in device manager, however it works flawlessly by default in Ubuntu (a popular Linux distribution). Installing older drivers in compatibility mode or default Windows bluetooth drivers did not work for me (and many others). Most of the devices that are covered are over 10 years old. Our archive contains recent Windows 11 and Windows 10. The download on this page is for a generic installer made by Broadcom, there are no guarantees that this will find your Bluetooth device, but there is a good chance because a lot of devices are covered by this package, different brand names.

The main problem is that Broadcom decided not to make drivers for Windows 10 available. Download the latest version of the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB driver for your computers operating system. On the internet I have found a lot of forum posts with this problem, however without working fixes. This is a fix to get the Broadcom 2070 Bluetooth adapter working on Windows 10 (found in for instance the 2560p Elitebooks)
