OK, that's up to you. But the main intention of this thread was about asking opinions on different makes of dongle in general, which most here have been very helpful with. The parts of the pc are...

HP Pavilion a6355.uk :
Asus M2N68-LA Narra3, AMD Phenom X4 9500, 6GB PC2-5300, Samsung HD501L 500GB HDD, HP GSA-H60L Lightscribe DVD-RW, Lite-on iHOS104 BD-ROM, Corsair HX750 PSU, MSI 275 GTX...

It's a circa 2007 Asus M2N68-LA (Narra3) mobo, so no fear of 3.0 ports haha!

I know, I know, kill it with fire and all that. I will do, when I've got some cash to replace it.!

Sorry, perhaps I should've clarified. This is a win10 desktop (running 1909), not the laptop.


They don't malfunction when I plug it in, they malfunction if I boot up with it inserted. They are...

Yeah now having seen that, all mine showed up was The RFCOMM Protocol, ms bt enumerator, and generic bt adaptor I think. It doesn't even give me the LE enumerator, and a check in event viewer shows...

I was just looking at that one. Half as much neg feedback as most others. Also noticed one or two others that look very similar to the kinivo are reported as more reliable.
It seems these ones are...

Looking in the comments on amazon/ebay of these dongles of assorted brands, not only including those mentioned above, but the more expensive ones by the likes of Asus, and the answer seems to be the...

Hi,

Could anyone recommend a decent bt 4.0 usb dongle that works perfectly with win 10? I bought one of these mini csr8510 ones cheap, and it's an absolute pile of junk. If I leave it plugged in...

Thanks guys, but I saved myself the aggro and backed up what I needed then did a complete wipe and fresh install. It even picked up the digital license again OK.

OK so which method would be the best to go with then, I just want win10 to occupy the whole drive, don't mind how.

OK thanks, I think I get what the idea is. Could you explain the steps of the process a little more if poss? Thanks.

Hi
I have a system with dual boot, as you can see I have 3 partitions on disk 0: vista, win10, and factory image.
I have already removed the boot menu in msconfig and set win10 as default, but now...

Getting stranger now. Just rebooted after a bugcheck, and no touchpad or cursor at all, only touchscreen. Tried all the usual, like fn+f5, disable/enable in mouse settings, etc. The only thing that...

I've just rebooted from a bugcheck, and something is different now, the mouse pointer is jerking really badly, like continuously doing it. What could be causing that? I'm pretty sure if I reboot...

It's a laptop with built-in wireless so I'm not able to remove the hardware. Unfortunately I don't have an ethernet port either. I'm not sure I have a USB wifi dongle, but I may be able to get hold...

That's odd, I didn't update that wireless driver, it was on 17.5.0.5 (auto installed after I removed device in dev mgr and rebooted). I have checked and I still have WU driver updates disabled, and I...

I've had a few bugchecks from an idle screen on a fresh boot, with no sleep/wake cycles.
Here's another dump for good measure, ckcl running and paging exec still disabled.
MEMORY15.zip - Google...

If you mean fast startup (in power options), yes I disabled that a long time ago, I did that the first time I tried 1809 back in October and had issues. I checked to see if the setting has stuck now...

Although I tend to prefer sleeping my machine most of the time, for speed of waking it when I need it (I should really shut it down more often, it's not like it's a slow booter as I have an ssd),...

It's an odd one. Sometimes, like earlier today, it can bugcheck when just sitting idle.

It looks like the person who tried this acpi driver has reported in the other thread on bleeping computer forums that it has not solved the issue, and in fact may have made it worse?

Here we go, new bugcheck today with ckcl available, and paging executive disabled.

OK will do. I did have a couple of etl that i extracted recently, followed the instructions I found in the ms blogs, opened them in WPA, but when I expanded the offending address (the longest dpc...

Current trace session has process, img, dpc, isr, and hard page faults enabled.

It was on, but 1903 must have reset it. It's back on now. Just one question though, I've verified ckcl is running as a trace session, but what trace providers do you recommend setting? Or is it...
