Dell Bluetooth 365 not detected in Windows 10 Technical Preview (Builds 10041 and 10049)

When I installed Windows 10 build 10041 on my 2009 Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop my Bluetooth 365 stopped working. On investigation I saw that Bluetooth had disappeared from Device Manager completely, but no yellow '!' was apparent anywhere. When I checked the BIOS the Bluetooth card was present. I researched the issue for a couple of hours and realised that Dell did not have a Bluetooth 365 driver for anything later than Windows 7. (That Windows 7 driver had worked in Win 8/Win 8.1). I discovered that the card is made by Broadcomm and is also used by Lenovo in some of its laptops. I downloaded the following driver from Lenovo's support site and installed it. When prompted, click the 'update software' button, and a further installation will run. If you wish, have Device Manager open and you will see the drivers and devices install.
support.lenovo.com/.../ds031759
It worked perfectly and my Bluetooth card was detected and configured and now all my Bluetooth devices work with Windows 10.
The Dell 1545 with Bluetooth is a great workhorse PC and it would have been a shame if it could not have been used with Windows 10. I hope it is not a sign of forced obsolescence by Dell, and that they will release Win 10 drivers for this venerable old laptop. It is a shame to have to go to a competitor for a driver. Judging by my web research there are many of this model still in everyday use. I trust this will be of use to other users.

There is a universal Broadcom Bluetooth Update which would cover this also:

Update Operation Fatal Error when installing Technical Preview Build 10041 Upgrade

I posted this in the Microsoft Community forums and was redirected here.
Below is the original post (URL: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/insider_wintp-insider_install/update-operation-fatal-error-when-installing/6eaff1b9-0223-4357-afc8-884382590e82 )
Hello,
In trying to perform an upgrade install of the Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041 (as is the latest available for direct download as of my writing), I am running into a problem I cannot find mention of anywhere else on the web.
I fall into two categories with regards to this build: A) Product tester who actually needs to test application performance under Windows 10 on bare metal, B) Semi-crazy techie who loves using (usable) beta software as his primary environment ;)
so it is rather important to me that I get this working on my machine in some non-virtualized respect. I am reluctant to do a full/fresh install if installation problems are happening, because my Windows 8 product key has been f***ed up from the
start (likely some random database corruption) and I've had to utilize phone support to get around an "unknown error" the last two times I've had to use it. So, for fear of that key completely crapping out on me, I don't want to move to Win10 unless
I'm confident it will install and I can stick with it (for better or worse) through the end. Problems within the Preview after I install it I can deal with.
So, I first tried to install the Preview through the standard Windows Update method. The installer took about 7 hours (but from reading lots of internet discussions, stupidly long install times in that range seem to be a common problem with
this builds separate from it actually failing). During the reboot between the "Setting up Devices" (Or is it Setting up Drivers? I forget) and "Taking Care of a Few More Things" (Again, possibly paraphrased), for about a split second, underneath
the Windows logo and throbber, some error like this appeared:
Fatal Error Performing Update Operation # of ##: ERROR CODE
It only appeared for a fraction of a second, and I had no chance of reading the precise numbers or error.
However, the installer then seemed to continue, and went until the main circle was at 100%. As soon as 100% hit, however, the screen went black for something like 30min. Then, I briefly saw "Attempting to recover installation" before "Restoring
your previous version of Windows." And I was, quite impressively considering how far along that installer was, back in Windows 8.1 completely unharmed.
I tried again by burning an ISO and doing a disc upgrade install. I let that one run overnight and was asleep for the error, but I was back in Win8.1 in the morning, so I can only assume a similar thing happened there.
As for my system specs, I'm running on a MacBook Pro 9,1 under Boot Camp. I am upgrading from Windows 8.1.2 Pro with Media Center. I have found other online accounts of people quite successfully installing Windows 10 on Macs, so that isn't the issue.
Does anyone have any clue as to what this error might have been/be, and how I might fix it? Or at least have it on good authority that a fresh installation would be unaffected (meaning it's software-related)? If not, I can try installing to a VHD,
which would at least let me product test on bare metal, but wouldn't have the harddrive space to be my daily driver and would probably only get used occasionally.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
So far, I have the yet-to-be-tried idea of a clean boot prior to installation.
If anyone here has any more specific ideas, lemme hear 'em.
Thanks!

To the individual who proposed this as an answer to my problem: It's not even applicable. I specifically stated that I was trying to avoid doing a clean installation (at least without knowing more about the problem at hand). An answer saying to do the thing
you're trying to avoid doing is not an answer. You can see my last reply for the current status of this issue. 6-8 hour blocks of time in which I can't use my computer (as is required to install build 10041) aren't super common for me, but I haven't abandoned
this thread. There have simply been no more updates. If your motivation as a mod was that you simply don't like there being unanswered threads on this forum, then perhaps you could attempt to contribute rather than arbitrarily marking the first reply as an
answer.
I will continue to update this thread as I try new things and get more information.
Thank you.

Problem with System Metrics SM_CXSIZEFRAME + SM_CXPADDEDBORDER in Windows 10 Preview (Build 10041)

Maybe this forum is the wrong place to ask something about Windows 10 Preview, but I did not find a dedicated place to report
programming problems as opposed to user problems:
I program/maintain a 32-bit desktop (WIN32 API) application and try it now on Windows 10 Preview build 10041. I calculate the size of a window border with the help of the GetSystemMetrics function, using the constants SM_CXSIZEFRAME and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER.
Originally, I only used SM_CXSIZEFRAME. This returned 4 pixels instead of the expected 8 pixels that I got on all previous windows versions up to Windows 8.1. Then I learned that already since Windows Vista one is expected to add the value of SM_CXPADDEDBORDER
to get the full border size. (SM_CXSIZEFRAME alone only continued to work on Vista and beyond thanks to a little compatibility hack by Microsoft, with SM_CXSIZEFRAME still returning the full border size and SM_CXPADDEDBORDER returning
yet 0, at least for 32-bit programs like mine.)
Assuming that Microsoft finally switched off that compatibility measure on Windows 10 I query and add SM_CXPADDEDBORDER now as well. Unfortunately this does not solve my problem, as that system metric returns 0.
Just to be on the sure side, I declared my program to support Windows 10 by using an embedded manifest and using the corresponding <compatibility> / <supportedOS> line with the Windows 10 GUID - this did not help either.
As querying and adding those two system metric values is rather trivial (no need to include code in this question, I think), I don't have the slightest idea what
I could do wrong here, this looks like Preview bug affecting 32-bit programs to me...

I regret to inform you, that you have to live with this error for ever. Microsoft won't fix it... we reported an error of the Windows Error Reporting system (exists since Windows 8) and provided a reproduction (an application with one printed page of code,
so very small and easy). It has never been fixed. 3 developers at Microsoft are involved and they confirmed, that it's a bug ... but... no chance. It's a strange company... I don't know what they mean with "we listen to our customers".

No Password entry option Windows 10 build 10041 (and 10049) unable to log in

Hello. I upgraded using the automatic process from within Windows 7 home premium. I'm using an All-in-one machine with 4gb RAM and 3.10ghz Core i3.
Initially I had a local account with no password, which automatically logged me in from start up. Everything ran smooth and well. I switched to a microsoft account which requires a password, in order to install apps from the Metro store.
I shutdown overnight, and return the next morning, and I'm faced with the usual screen. A large image, few icons. I swipe upwards on screen or press space to move along and log in. My username is presented to me, but the password input field is missing.
It says "Andrew" and has my email beneath it, but the password box is just not there. I clicked the screen randomly but nothing showed up. I've tried typing anyway but still nothing.
This left me comlpletely unable to sign in and use windows. In dire need of a PC to use, I activated a workaround which allowed me to use cmd without logging in and used the /active command on the hidden administrator. This is the only accessible use of
my PC I've got, and my files are buried deep within C:/users/..... and so on.
As per the title, I also had this issue in build 10049 but I had to revert back since I locked the PC using window+L out of habit, and I couldn't log back in. I reverted back to 10041 since having restarted the PC from being locked out, I encountered
boot loop.

Andrew754,
Are you saying that you are now in build 10041, and that you are unable to login because there is no option to enter the password ?
If yes, have you tried...... press Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys ?
Will that bring you back to normal sign in screen ?

Enabled Hyper-V causes "System thread exception not handled" BSOD in builds 10041 and 10049

I had a Windows 10 TP build 9926 installation with Visual Studio 2013 Community Edition installed, when build 10041 was released Windows Update tried to install it but after restart it got BSOD with "System thread exception not handled" text and
reverted back to 9926 with error code 0xC1900101-0x40017. I tried update from ISO, got the same BSOD. Tried clean installation, it worked.
I decided to install software and restart the system after each installation and discovered that installing Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 caused BSOD after restart if and only if emulators were included. Installation of Visual Studio 2015 CTP6 without emulators
and then installation of Tools for Windows 10 also caused BSOD with "System thread exception not handled" error after restart.
So I thought that it was Hyper-V related and disabled hardware virtualisation in BIOS settings. It worked, system successfully booted, but, of course, Tools for Windows 10 setup showed up and told me about fail in UAP for Windows Phone package.
So, my hardware is Gigabyte GA-A75N-USB3 motherboard with AMD A8-3870 APU with integrated graphics, Intel SSDSA2CW080G3 80GB SSD and 8 GB RAM.
Steps to reproduce are to enable "Virtualisation" item in BIOS settings, install Windows 10 Technology Preview Build 10041, install Visual Studio 2015 CTP6, install Visual Studio Tools for Windows 10 Preview, restart the system and
see blue screen with white text of description of "System thread exception not handled" error.

Same issue, MSI A75MA-G55 AMD Fusion Socket FM1 with A8-3850 APU, 16GB RAM. Hyper-V worked in 9926, but broke in 10041 and remains broken in 10049. I have found that if you get in this BSOD loop, you can boot to Safe Mode and Un-install Hyper-V
to recover. 10041 was an update to 9926, and 10049 was a clean install.

Iconia W700: Bluetooth keyboard not detected in Windows 10 x64

I am in the process of updating all the computers in my house to Windows 10 and it has been fairly painless so far for most of the devices. However, I cannot get my Iconia W700 tablet to recognize the Bluetooth keyboard. It is the keyboard with integrated cover, and I've followed the procedure, as stated on Acer's website, of holding the power button on the keyboard for 5 seconds to put it into discovery mode, and then adding a device from the Bluetooth device menu. Obviously the menus have new locations, but are not hard to find. I updated the Bluetooth driver on the tablet but that did not remedy the issue. I looked around and couldn't find any mention of this problem here or elsewhere, probably since Windows 10 just launched a few days ago.

Ok, so I'm not sure if the driver was actually the issue, but the Acer documentation on putting the Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode requires you to press and hold the power button until the two LEDs on the keyboard start to alternate like on a police car. If someone is reading this and this still doesn't allow you to pair the keyboard, then here are the steps to get the proper Bluetooth driver: Open the Device Manager (right-click windows icon in bottom left)Expand the "Bluetooth" category in the Device ManagerRight click the Bluetooth driver (should be the first in the list if there are multiple devices listed)Click UninstallRestart the tablet. The Bluetooth driver will be reinstalled on reboot.Open the Device Manager again after you log inRight click the Bluetooth driver and click "Update Driver Software..."Select the option for Windows to search for the driver software.An update should be downloaded and installed.Now repeat the pairing steps detailed above, and you should see an option to pair the keyboard appear in your Bluetooth settings.I've subscribed to this thread so if anyone has a problem, just reply and I will try to help you sort it out.

Problem installing Windows Technical Preview build 9926

I am not able to install the Technical Preview on my computer. Everything looks fine and in the end it says "applying computer settings" and counts the percents before it reboots again.
During the boot it says evaluation build 9926. Then it says Restoring the old windows as it was before... I can't get this to work.
This is the windowsupdate.log file and the last attempt of installing at the end of the file. 21st of march.

VS2013 not running in debug mode on Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 10041

am getting the following errors every time i try to run my projects in debug mode what can be the issue.
Managed Debugging Assistant 'FatalExecutionEngineError' has detected a problem in 'C:\Program Files (x86)\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe'.
Additional information: The runtime has encountered a fatal error. The address of the error was at 0x73c0d5a5, on thread 0x1a0c. The error code is 0xc0000005. This error may be a bug in the CLR or in the unsafe or non-verifiable portions of user
code. Common sources of this bug include user marshaling errors for COM-interop or PInvoke, which may corrupt the stack.
Then when I continue the following appears
An unhandled exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' occurred in System.Data.dll
Additional information: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
Then it stops..
This happens when a database call is made and only does this when debug, when I run it using the browser link all is good. The applications work well.

Hi Bigmachini,
According to my solution, what about your issue now?
If you have been solved the issue, would you mind sharing us the solution here? So it would be helpful for other members who get the same issue.
If not, please let us know the latest information about it.
@Malik, could you please tell me if you try to check your issue by the above suggestion as I said?
If no, please try the above suggestions to check this issue and then tell me the latest message about this issue.
>>The error mostly occurs when debugging ADO.NET or database function calls. If code is run without debugging then there is no issue at all.
You could also try to copy your project and then debug your project in debug mode on a another machine you install same Windows 10 OS check this issue again.

Windows Technical Preview Build 9926 update

Hi,
I am trying to update my Windows 10 TP installation and it seems that it fails to download. I am behind a proxy server in the office with no way around it. Windows Update fails with error 0x80072ee2. What I have picked up is that I can
get the update list if I set a proxy server in BITS using "bitsadmin /util /setieproxy localsystem proxy1:port "bypass list". However bits fails to download the updates returning either Error or Transient_Error. Can you please assist
with this issue?
Regards,
Riaan
EDIT: I set proxy settings of each bits download job to PRECONFIG and the updates downloaded and installed.

Hi,
Did you set the proxy server via IE? Do you mean that the Windows Update Client ignore the proxy settings? To make Windows Update use the proxy setting, please execute the following command from cmd
Netsh winhttp import proxy source=ie
You can refer to this following KB for "how Windows Update finds proxy settings"
How the Windows Update client determines which proxy server to use to connect to the Windows Update Web site

WM_INPUT message no longer sent in Windows Technical Preview build 9879?

I had software that relied on the WM_INPUT message and it used to work with previous builds (and Win 8.1). I needed it for remapping a wireless keyboard's fn key to CTRL key (I was using an Autohotkey script which captures WM_INPUT).
But now looking at the messages sent when typing in the keyboard in a win32 app, only the button down and up are being sent. What changed? how to work around it?
Now I am using a hacky combination of user32.dll's SendInput and some methods from setupapi.dll to read/send the special key values.

Hello ibalhashim,
From your description, do you mean that after remapping the fb to ctrl, then only the button down and up are being sent?
If it is, please share us how you have remapped the keys and please test if removing the remapping operations, the WM_INPUT message would restore. This would help narrow down this issue to see if it is caused by the remapping operations or the win32 app.

Officejet Pro K550 in Windows Technical Preview

The most recent update to Windows Technical Preview Build 9879 keeps stopping the print spooler when the Officejet Pro K550 is attached. It worked fine in the previous builds. Any ideas? I need to keep the USB cable disconnected until I want to print and then uninstall the printer each time or keep restarting the print spooler each time I want to print anything.
Thanks

Hi,
Try running Windows Update and check if any driver update is available, any drivers for the Technical Preview are only available from Microsoft Update servers.
If the issue persists, you will need to wait till an update will become available by microsoft, as a beta OS you are likley to experience this kind of issues, devices hasn't have been tested much, as well as the entire operating system.

IPod Touch, not detected in Windows or iTunes...

First of all, hello to everyone...
i want to say that i read a lot EVERYWHERE about my issue and still i couldnt find a solution...
the problem is easy, i have a 3rd gen ipod touch, OS 4.2.1 now fully working... but, it's not detected in windows or itunes, as simple as that, and as u all have read in lots of other posts...
my ipod is now working because i took it to an apple store and they charged it in a MAC and they had no problem at all. the MAC detected the ipod, with all its content and my ipod's name...
but when i took it home -this has been hapenning since maybe... 5 MONTHS!-, i plug it in my PC and nothing happens...
ok, first of all, my spec... win vista home premium 64 bits, last version of itunes...
i tried ALL the solutions provided in APPLE official support page, and nothing happens... that means:
1- completely uninstall itunes and then reinstalling it... i ALSO FORMATED my entire hard drive twice!!!!
2- tried all USB ports and even an entirely different PC and nothing happened
3- bought 3 different IPOD to USB cables and nothing happened
4- tried setting ipod to restore, that way itunes SOMETIMES detected the ipod but i coulnt restore because of different error codes, so i had to take it several times to apple store to "unblock" it...
the only way it works -detection and charge- is with MAC computers or dock systems such as an iHome my gf has thats the way im charging it now, but otherwise it wont work...
i would really appreciate any help, since idont know what else to do!!
thx in advance!!

HI I was having some other problems getting my itouch to restore because it was not being recognized in itunes and kept erroring out. Now it has finally restored after I updated all kinds of drivers and removed and reinstalled itunes and apple software a million times,(yes this is all after installing itunes 8.1 and paying for an itouch upgrade as well) Now itunes says it cannot do anything with the ipod because it is getting an invalid response from the device. So it won't put anything back on my itouch or even show that I have plugged it in. I emailed tech support, If I find anything out I'll let you know, will you do the same for me?
