Yes, it's not a good situation. I'm hoping someday we will be able to block an individual peripheral driver from updating. Bury it deep somewhere so the general public can't fool with it.
You may want to write Asus and Qualcomm that the driver doesn't work on your system. I would think it's under warrantee. You may get some response. Hopefully they'll rewrite the driver or give another suggestion.
I know not ideal, but you may want to consider using that Bluetooth dongle and disable the onboard one in the meantime so to keep driver update on.
Please post back if there are any changes. Best of luck to you.
