Driver errors using the included driver or using generic drivers

Installed driver from website and it worked fine for about two

the driver from techkey functions even worse, windows disables the device and won't enable it. returning the product for something from another manufacturer.

Setup with the drivers worked smoothly.

Well, maybe some driver install wait time

The drivers were so easy to find on the website and install.

If you're running windows 10, you might have to check and see if you have the correct Techkey drivers installed

The driver is a bit weird, it's not plug and play like I would expect from these days, you kind of have to go to a shady website and download the driver from some fileshare company

After one misfire, I installed the drivers first and it worked fine from then.

the drivers for this - are horrible it will not work at all when they are installed

I needed to install drivers before it worked well.

They have like 5 products, how hard is it to keep drivers accessible

Needed to run the install disk to get the right drivers in place for Windows 7-64.

Install the driver for the Realtek chipset and it'll works fantastically as long as your aware of the size of this thing being a limiter to its

I plugged it in, installed the drivers and it works.

When I disabled the drivers I was able to install the Realtek 5.0 driver from the install wizard

It didn't work, even with the sketchy driver from their website (why isn't the driver distributed in Windows?).

I installed the drivers from their website right away and everything has worked as expected.

Installed the drivers and plugged it in and it worked.

Easy driver install from the included cd and now enjoying my music

Having proper drivers is essential

I purchased this dongle together with a pair of Boltune Bluetooth 5.0 headphones (www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PJK73L8) for use with my Windows 10 desktop PC.While researching this dongle, I'd noticed several reviewers complaining about the fact that the driver comes on a mini CD disc or complaining about the driver itself

However, once uninstalled (drivers), and reinstalling firstly without the Bluetooth device, it worked asking me then to put in the USB Bluetooth dongle

Although I didn't have a CD drive to install the drivers, the drivers that were also offered online on their website that was included here and on the packaging made it really easy to set up the dongle

Recommend using provided driver installation as Windows used a generic driver but that seemed to work fine as well

I don't want to install a potential malicious driver just because of a bluetooth dongle.

Odd that it was needed to manually install drivers since most products either work with natively included drivers or will pull via Windows Update

The drivers are also available as downloads from the mytechkey web site if you don't have a CD drive

Had to go to the Techkey website and locate the proper driver.

Windows does install drivers via the modern (via Internet) method but does not produce fully compatible drivers.

The mini-CD that came with it contained the drivers as well, but who still uses a CD-ROM drive

I was surprised but this works great, the only hard part was finding the drivers but there is a website if you look in the instructions

Driver issues in posts

Device was easy to setup and driver was a breeze to install directly from their website

I installed the driver on Windows 10 and it works perfectly.

They ask you to download really sketchy drivers from their website, I got a warning from my computer about excessive power draw when I plugged it in, also one of the two I got fell apart the first time I tried to take it out of my computer

But trust me, I just installed the driver and plug in the USB dongle "

I reinstalled the driver and it worked for awhile

I experienced the same problem on two different PCs; the adapter worked only after installing the manufacturer's driver.

(In my case at least)Overall Review:Works once proper drivers are installed

10 PC.Note: If you do not have a CD drive you will need an internet connection to access their website & download the appropriate driver for your bluetooth adapter (adapter comes with driver software on a CD).

Fast delivery and easy driver installation allowed me to stream music from my desktop to Soundboks via Bluetoth protocol

I would make sure that you download the correct driver for your product

Real bluetooth 5.0 works perfectly in windows 10 its necessary instal driver to work

Installed all the software as instructed, manually re-installed drivers when it didn't work, tried all the windows bluetooth troubleshooters and troubleshooting steps, it straight up does not work.

Make sure you download the proper drivers from their site first, then everything works perfectly!

One way to help grow this product is to say it needs a driver update like next to picture #4 next to windows 10 (Driver needs update)

You'll know because you'll end up with a "Generic Bluetooth Radio" in your Device Manager that does not support BT 5.0.For those who still argue that the drivers are "sketchy", the drivers themselves are digitally signed

The drivers are unable to be installed, as the website listed contains a 404 error

Had to download drivers from their website but worked once computer restarted and has been working perfectly.

I saw the bluetooth option immediately after plugging in but needed to quckly download and install the drivers for it to work just as advertised.

The only installation glitch I had was with finding the right driver for it, which I found on their website

Installation was a chore and unprofessional in that the driver is downloaded from a Dropbox account as opposed to being shipped with Windows 10 or downloaded from the manufacturer's website

Not WIN 10 compatible drivers wouldn’t load

The driver works fine, and so does the dongle

Also, I've read other reviews saying the drivers are suspicious

Not WIN 10 compatible drivers wouldn’t load

I didn't bother looking online to see if the drivers are available online

These drivers are properly signed by Realtek, so you can be reasonably certain that the drivers are safe to use

Recognized by windows immediately and was working, but I did also download the proper drivers from the website provided on the installation manual.

Easy driver installation too

The drivers that come with the dongle will work for Windows 7 and 8, but stay away from Windows 10

I inserted the dongle into a USB connection after putting in the CD, but as soon as I did that additional Microsoft drivers were installed which prohibited me from running Setup.

I was able to plug-n-play on Windows 10 x64 without the driver installation, but it comes with a driver mini-disk that they recommend a user installs prior to plugging this dongle.

The driver installer is not signed and appears to be a modified RealTek installer - No legitimate hardware manufacturer supporting Windows 10 would have an unsigned installer and as many other reviewers noted, Microsoft would have drivers readily available for a legitimate USB 5.0 RealTek device.

Driver from Website or CD and everything is perfect with Windows 10 64-bit, sound quality is awesome and pairing was seamless

Tried to install CD, rebooted, bluetooth icon was gone and disabled in Windows 10 from failed driver
