Broadcom bluetooth 4.0 driver5/20/2023 (You can also type “Bluetooth” in the Windows Start Menu search to jump to the Bluetooth menu, too.) Right-click the icon and choose “Add a Bluetooth Device” from the context menu. (We’re not going to say that every Bluetooth frustration we’ve ever had was related to failing to notice a device wasn’t in pairing mode, but it’s up there on the list of reasons.)Īfter inserting the dongle (and with the appropriate drivers installed), a Bluetooth icon should appear in the system tray, as seen in the screenshot below. Now is a great time to turn the device on and ensure it is in pairing mode. Now that you have the dongle installed, you’re ready to pair a device. Because, hey, Bluetooth 4.0 might not be cutting edge these days, but old Bluetooth is better than no Bluetooth. If you left everything installed, you can pop into the Device Manager and turn on the old Bluetooth radio. Let’s say, for example, you realize a half hour into a flight that your laptop is missing the updated Bluetooth dongle. It’s also useful to leave it installed, so it’s ready to go on the off chance you need it.
