Bluetooth Problems
A have an older Lenovo Thinkpad W520 notebook computer running Windows 10 Professional that for the most part has been an ultra reliable workhorse. When it was new from the factory I installed a Samsung 500gb SSD to eliminate the weakest link a Western Digital mechanical hard drive. Life was good until about two years ago when I decided I wanted to regularly pair my Amazon Tap, Sharkk Boombox and a pair of Jabra bluetooth earbuds to the system. Unfortunately the Bluetooth 3.0 on the Thinkpad was flaky. Devices would stop working and I would need to remove them from the system and add them again along with several other tap dances to keep things working. Up until a few days ago I lived with this problem because it was not a big deal. Recently though I have a renewed interest in Lynda.com training courses so I bought an awesome set of Hiearcool L-1 Bluetooth Headphones. I had to solve this problem once and for all.
Frustrated I headed to Amazon and set out to find a new Bluetooth 4.0 USB dongle.
My research on Amazon showed me that there were many USB Bluetooth 4.0 Dongles to choose from and many seemed to be re-branded CSR 4.0 so I bought the one that was actually branded CSR 4.0 for about $12 and in two day Amazon prime had it in my hands.
Installing the CSR 4.0 USB Bluetooth Dongle
Being a Windows 10 computer the Bluetooth adapter should have been plug and play but unfortunately that was not the case. A quick check in Windows 10 device manager showed me the CSR 4.0 was installed but there was an error message. Here we go a simple task is now a project.
My initial thought was that maybe there was a driver needed after all but my research told me that the CSR 4 USB Bluetooth adapter does not require any driver other than what is included with the Windows 10 operating system.
My second thought was there was another device interfering with the installation so I removed my iPhone, Sharkk Boombox and Amazon Tap.Then in Windows Device manager I selected “Show Hidden Devices” and removed any additional Bluetooth devices that are no longer being used. Once that was done I rebooted the computer and reinstalled the CSR Bluetooth adapter. The installation failed again. That was when the answer hit me.
(Solved) CSR 4.0 USB Adapter Won’t Install
The solution is simple. Windows 10 can’t operate two Bluetooth radios at the same time. The Lenovo notebooks internal Bluetooth radio needs to be disabled in order to use the CSR 4 and probably any other USB Bluetooth Adapter.
Update: Hamish Blackall commented the following “USB 3 ports are not recommended” That is worth noting.
USB Bluetooth Installation Guide
In the Windows Search box at the bottom of the screen type “Device Manager” and select the Device Manage from the results
Expand the Bluetooth section
Right click your existing Bluetooth radio and select “Disable device” from the available choices
Insert the CSR 4 or any other USB Bluetooth Adapter into an available USB or USB 2.0 port (USB 3 ports are not recommended)

I stumbled across a six pin header on my motherboard designed for an internal Bluetooth module that uses USB protocols to communicate, and ended up making the actual cable that allowed me to place the dongle inside the laptop.
The dongle is http://auspcmarket.com.au/orico-bta-402-bluetooth-4-0-adapter
Now .Windows 10 has some neat new features for integrated Bluetooth modules, like from the action center, and special connection menus for audio devices.
Despite the fact that I'm using the specified Bluetooth module port, Windows 10 doesn't recognize it as a Bluetooth radio, just as another USB device, and I'm stuck with the installed drivers' annoying menus, and a hole in my action center:

I'm using a similar bluetooth dongle, from the same brand (Orico BTA-403) and Windows 10.
In my case I had to do this:
1. Turn on Bluetooth Windows Services
Csr Harmony Bluetooth Windows 10
Open windows services (run services.msc or search for 'services' on windows search).
Change the Bluetooth Handsfree Service and the Bluetooth Support Service to automatic (on properties) and start them.
2. Uninstall the bluetooth driver that comes with the device
When you connect the device, the driver gets installed automatically.
Go to Device Manager (Right click on Start Menu and choose Device Manager or Search for Device Manager).
Csr 4.0 Bluetooth Driver Download Window…
Find your device on the list. My device was on Universal Serial Bus Devices (I think), named CSR8510 A10.
Right click, choose Uninstall and remember to choose 'Delete the driver software for this device' (I tried without this and it did not work).
After that it started to work. You may need to remove the dongle and insert it again or to restart the computer after step 2, but if I recall correctly, it started to work right after step 2 for me.

This is what I have discovered from experimenting over a long time - for windows GUI Bluetooth features to activate, there cannot be any other installed drivers or interfaces. For me in my case, windows didn't active the features until I had uninstalled the stock drivers (CSR Wireless Stack). Basically, Windows needs to be using the 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' drivers for the features to be activated.
So for those looking to make Windows recognize their USB Bluetooth dongles, try uninstalling the drivers.
