Bose QuietComfort 35 not working on Windows 7 (64bit Professional)

I've had endless issues with this as well. Dell Latitude E7450 with the Intel bluetooth adapter, on Windows 7 Pro x64

Firstly, the Intel drivers don't install properly, the installer gets to a point where it wants to install the connection manager application, after which it fails and exits.

I ended up extracting the MSI and installing the driver manually, which worked.

Then I paired up the QC35, and it detects okay but disconnects and remains disconnected afterwards. I am unable to configure the bluetooth services.

How I solved this was by replacing the MS bluetooth stack with the Toshiba stack for non-Toshiba notebooks (http://support.toshiba.com/drivers)

The headset needs to be turned on when you start up the OS, otherwise you won't have audio. A workaround is to delete the pairing and just re-pair the QC35 with the OS.

I suspect the reason for the issues with the Windows BT stack is that Windows 7's stack implementation isn't version 4 compliant and doesn't advertise the computer name to the QC35 properly, causing the QC35 to drop the connection.

I tried the WIDCOMM stuff but that requires Broadcom/QLogic chips, and I don't believe we should be paying for stuff like BlueKitchen to get something to work that is supposed to just function out the box.

I hope this helps some of you guys out.

Finally I found a couple of drivers for Windows 7 64-bit on my Lenovo X1 Carbon that worked with my Bose Quietcomfort 35...

For a couple of days I've had major problems with uninstalling the old Intel Bluetooth drivers and installing the new ones. I believe what worked for me was downloading CCleaner (as some other forum suggests) and Disable the Bluetooth startup/autostart. Then thru CCleaner I managed to remove the bluetooth drivers.

CCleaner doesnt seem to be a virus (for those of you who wonder... I did!). I have a corporate computer with Symantec Endpoint protection and it installs without any virus notification.

I was surprised when I found these drivers (that doesnt show up for me when I search with the Intel(R) Driver Update Utility tool). Try it out on your own risk of course...

I can underwrite this problem as well. Dell E7440 with Intel Bluetooth hardware and windows 7 professional 64bit.

In my case, I use the Microsoft Generic Bluetooth Adapter, which seems to be from 2006.  Is this updateable to, perhaps, support the QC35 on Windows 7?

Hi All

I'm having apparently the same problem with QC35 (BQCA is just the name that I gave the headset myself).

The device is paired, drivers installed, connected but there no mention of it in the playback devices. It is a plug and play devices, and as noted above, there are no drivers provided by Bose to be installed.

Any help will be appreciated.

Just for the sake of clarity: I've uninstalled and installed "all the bluetooth drivers" many times to no avail.
