Model: Adapter  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version:

Upon plugging the UB400 adapter into my Windows 10 PC, it shows a "driver error" in bluetooth devices.  And in device manager, it shows as "Generic Bluetooth Radio".  There is no adapter recognized in device manager.  I've tried searching for and updating the driver software, but it says it's the latest.  My expectation is that this is plug and play and should not require the 400mb software download from TP-Link.

 

Currently running Windows 10 Pro ver 2004.

 

I've tried troubleshooting from other recent threads, but it does not seem to fix the issue.

Edit: this happens on 2 other Windows 10 PCs

@bmav25 

 

The quick installation guide mentions:

 

"Before you proceed, please disable all existing Bluetooth devices (both built-in and third-party) on your computer"

 

Your existing devices may be getting in the way.
