Resolved MacBook 2017 Bluetooth not working under Windows 11

[Spacedust]

All drivers + BootCamp is installed with all updates, but I cannot see Bluetooth module in device manager at all. Using Windows 11 Home.

It must be related to Broadcom UHE Serial Bus Driver, the only version which doesn't show warning is 12.0.1.870, 2015-12-11.

Any ideas?

I see it's been 10 days, so you may have already figured this out... but if not, there is an open source tool called Brigadier that might solve this (it basically forces the drivers from Apple's CAB files rather than Windows Update's method)

I think the command line argument for your specific model is

brigadier.exe -m MacBook10,1

but you should double check that this might help what you're seeing... usually there's something in the Devices tree even if your driver isn't loaded

Still doesn't work. Here's my device manager. Works well under macOS so it's not hardware issue.

Reinstalled just BroadcomBluetooth driver and now got this.

"Cannot start this device. Station is not ready."

It's seems I'm not the only one with this issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7694058?sortBy=rank&page=1

Updated driver to 12.0.1.877, no error, but Bluetooth still not working.

Any one got 12.0.1.879?

The reason was faulty Intel(R) Serial IO UART Host Controller - 9D27 driver from 2024.

You need to install older version from 2023 - 30.100.2351.81: https://catalog.s.download.windowsu..._e8c6258435f6ffa8b0c843c02d92634d73ec1e77.cab

and Broadcom Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator 12.0.1.879: https://catalog.s.download.windowsu..._179275464a084af1a5f027fd0146f9cde11b982d.cab

Bluetooth will pop right in and it works!
