Intel 8260 Bluetooth Not Working

[YangWuu]

Hey guys,

I recently build my Mini-ITX with MSI H110i Pro AC
Everything is working perfectly except for the Bluetooth, it doesn't seems to be registered.

From what I know Intel 8260 does have Bluetooth capabilites as well as Wi-Fi.
I have installed all the updated drivers from Intel and MSI, still no luck.

My Device Manager doesn't show up Bluetooth via the Network Adapter.
I read a few articles online, some mentioned this MB doesn't support it.

Any idea to work around? Appreciate some advice!
Thinking of getting a Bluetooth adapter but afraid would be waste if it doesn't work

Easiest way, get a USB Bluetooth adapter. Those small and cheap one $10 only iirc

Recently just installed similar Intel 8265 into my empty m.2 Wifi slot on X370 Killer SLI...

WiFi worked out of the box but Bluetooth didn't.

I had to install the Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver for Bluetooth to work. Only works on 64-bit Windows 10 so make sure you have 64-bit OS.

It is not the same as Intel ProSet, Wireless Driver. Another driver for Bluetooth.

Appreciate the help! Sadly tried still no sign of Bluetooth despite installing it.
Tried the ProSET one as well didn't help neither.

What's weird is under Device Manager, no Bluetooth option is showing up.
Probably I just get an adapter to test it out! Thanks bro!

The Wifi card supports Bluetooth but the motherboard doesnt support. MSI's specs on its website only mentioned WIFI for this motherbord, no bluetooth functionality mentioned.

So even if u download Intel drivers for the wifi card, the Intel drivers will only work for the Wifi part, leaving the Bluetooth part untouched.
