    I have had this issue now for several years and have never found a fix for it. I've been through 2 different full systems, so I know it's not my hardware directly. I have tried virtually every method that I've found online and nothing has worked. I still get this issue every so often and now after trying to reinstall my BT driver to the manufacturer provided one, Windows will not let me get rid of the "Generic Bluetooth Adapter". If I uninstall it, it reinstalls itself upon a reboot of my system and if I try to install the manufacturer's file it does nothing.Current system is as follows:ASUS T

    Windows Updates breaks bluetooth

    So Bluetooth stopped working (mouse etc) today.

    - Event Log says "The local Bluetooth adapter has failed in an undetermined manner and will not be used. The driver has been unloaded."

    -Device Manager lists Intel Wireless Bluetooth Device Status as "The local Bluetooth adapter has failed in an undetermined manner and will not be used. The driver has been unloaded."

    On a whim I checked the version number compared to what I had originally installed and sure enough the version is much more recent.... meaning one of the cumulative Windows Updates installed a newer... and broken!.... version.

    GOD, I CANNOT STAND WINDOWS 10.
