I have Asus K53SV Laptop. I was using Windows 7 Home Premium that came with it. The Bluetooth worked fine on it. But now I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro. Everything seems to work fine except the Bluetooth. The Windows 7 Driver (Intel ProSET wireless drivers and Atheros Bluetooth Suite) for Bluetooth cites compatibility errors when installed on windows 8.

I frequently used the Bluetooth to transfer files from my laptop to mobile. Now I have to remove the SD card every time.

The Network Adapter in Device Manager shows AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Adapter.

Is there any way I can use the Bluetooth with Windows 8.

Please Help!!

ASUS has not released Drivers for Windows 8. I even e-mailed them about this.

They replied :
"Sorry, we don't officially support win8 on the notebook.
If you want to use win8, you could use Microsoft in-box drivers or drivers for similar models for a try. But we couldn't promise you they would work without any problem."

Sometimes Windows Update helps and sometimes you can get the drivers from original manufacturer of that product. I mean say if you are using Realtek Audio then you can get Drivers from Realtek also. Got my point ??

But how do I find the manufacturer of my Bluetooth?
I tried searching using Vendor and Product ID. With Product ID, it shows D-Link Adapter and in Device Manager it only shows AR9002WB-1NG Wireless Adapter which is for wifi and bluetooth both.

Windows Update even installs Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and when I right click on Bluetooth icon in the tray -> "Open Setting" -> Check "Allow Bluetooth Devices to find this computer" -> Click "Apply" and as soon as I click the window goes to "Not Responding" and the cursor changes to Processing Icon and nothing happens. I have to shut the RunDLL process from Task Manager.
