This small app can install generic Microsoft drivers for your Bluetooth adapter. The app is based on a widely known method of patching the %WinDir%infbth.inf file.
The app works for most, but not all, Bluetooth adapters; whether that be USB dongles or built-in adapters. A strikingly good point about Bluetooth Driver Installer is that before making any changes to your system, the app automatically creates a restore point. This is useful if anything goes wrong. You can use Windows System Restore to revert any changes that have been made to your PC.
Bluetooth Driver Installer is a reliable app, if the WinDir%infbth.inf file is corrupted in some way then Bluetooth Driver Installer will patch it, thereby repairing any errors you may have. Bluetooth Driver Installer also automatically identifies any devices you have and then can install the compatible driver, if you need it.
Overall, Bluetooth Driver Installer is a great app that is lightweight, has a standard user interface, and is very simple to use; it provides wizards to run you through the process. The app also provides you with data in the form of a detailed report on the device model, manufacturer and subversion used.
I stumbled across a six pin header on my motherboard designed for an internal Bluetooth module that uses USB protocols to communicate, and ended up making the actual cable that allowed me to place the dongle inside the laptop.
The dongle is http://auspcmarket.com.au/orico-bta-402-bluetooth-4-0-adapter
Now .Windows 10 has some neat new features for integrated Bluetooth modules, like from the action center, and special connection menus for audio devices.
Despite the fact that I'm using the specified Bluetooth module port, Windows 10 doesn't recognize it as a Bluetooth radio, just as another USB device, and I'm stuck with the installed drivers' annoying menus, and a hole in my action center:

I'm using a similar bluetooth dongle, from the same brand (Orico BTA-403) and Windows 10.
In my case I had to do this:
1. Turn on Bluetooth Windows Services
Open windows services (run services.msc or search for 'services' on windows search).
Change the Bluetooth Handsfree Service and the Bluetooth Support Service to automatic (on properties) and start them.
2. Uninstall the bluetooth driver that comes with the device
When you connect the device, the driver gets installed automatically.
Go to Device Manager (Right click on Start Menu and choose Device Manager or Search for Device Manager).
Find your device on the list. My device was on Universal Serial Bus Devices (I think), named CSR8510 A10.
Import serial keys from CSV, TXT documents. Generate up to 2 million serial keys in one turn (1 million with 32 bit version of SKG). Export serial keys to MySQL and MS SQL databases (SQL Query generator). Serial keys can contain uppercase and/or lowercase charactes and/or numbers. Main type 8.0 94fbr download. Export serial keys to CSV, TXT documents.
Right click, choose Uninstall and remember to choose 'Delete the driver software for this device' (I tried without this and it did not work).
After that it started to work. You may need to remove the dongle and insert it again or to restart the computer after step 2, but if I recall correctly, it started to work right after step 2 for me.

This is what I have discovered from experimenting over a long time - for windows GUI Bluetooth features to activate, there cannot be any other installed drivers or interfaces. For me in my case, windows didn't active the features until I had uninstalled the stock drivers (CSR Wireless Stack). Basically, Windows needs to be using the 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' drivers for the features to be activated.
So for those looking to make Windows recognize their USB Bluetooth dongles, try uninstalling the drivers.
