I have been having a problem getting a Bluetooth driver to work properly on Windows 10.
Some background:
My computer is an Acer Aspire v3-571g laptop that originally shipped with Windows 8. Since then, I had upgraded to 8.1, but a catastrophic hard drive failure happened, so I replaced the drive and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on the machine. I was able to get drivers working on 7 just fine.
Now that Windows 10 has rolled around, I thought I might as well try to upgrade. Everything works great, except when I try to connect my Bluetooth headset I get a blue screen with the message: 'driver irql not less or equal'. I have gone to the Acer website and downloaded the drivers for Windows 8.1 for my machine because Microsoft says they should be compatible with Windows 10 (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/Dn941239%28v=VS.85%29.aspx), but I get the same BSOD.
So my question is: Am I just out of luck since Acer won't be releasing a driver for 10? If not, which driver would you download from Acer and how would you go about installing it and getting it work? (I've been a bit confused with compatibility mode)
Something that seems strange to me is that I when I install the Atheros Bluetooth Suite, it does not appear on the drivers list. I just have generic-named Bluetooth drivers.. http://i.imgur.com/AH7XlKy.png
This wouldn't be such an issue, but with my headphone jack broken, Bluetooth is my only option for headphone audio. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've done all the things I could find in support - nothing seems to apply to my problem.
My problem is that Bluetooth doesn't seem to be on my computer any more. I have searched with file manager and find these: BthAvrcpTg.sys bthhfenum.sys BthhfHid.sys bthmodem.sys (all say they are Bluetooth drivers in properties) and were last updated 7/16/2016. It's very likely that I haven't tried to connect a Bluetooth device since then! I just bought a new Bose Bluetooth speaker. It works with my Echo dot and cell phones. I want to use it with my computer too!
