Steps to Fix the Bluetooth Problem:
1. Download and Extract Files
Download the 3 driver files linked in the video description and extract them to your PC. These are different versions of the same driver, so you can try them one by one.
2. Open Device Manager

Verify that the model of your Bluetooth adapter is Qualcomm Atheros AR3012.

Right-click on it, select Update Driver, and follow the process shown in the video.
If another driver is listed:
Right-click and select Uninstall Device. Then install one of the downloaded driver files.
