- Driver is provided by Windows 10 during update
- Problem started when November updates (build 10586) were installed
- Centrino 3.0 driver can be rolled back from Device Manager, then I'm OK -- for a while
- Problem seems to be confined to legacy BT devices such as keyboard/mouse -- they initially say "connected" after pairing but only are functional until next restart or sleep resume
- Issue doesn't happen with a BT audio device (stays "connected" after restart) but mouse and keyboard are either showing "Paired" but unresponsive, or flip-flopping about every 5 seconds between "Paired" and "Connected" but unresponsive throughout the cycle. If I remove device and re-pair, it works until next reboot
- I know there is a way to "block 3d party driver updates" in my version of Windows 10 but am worried about security vulnerabilities when using a "Generic Bluetooth" driver from Microsoft dated 2006.
Device is an HP Pavilion dm1-4050us Entertainment Notebook PC

and like many hardware vendors these days, there is no direct link to Windows 10-ready device drivers, so I came to Intel for help.
