Problem with bt headset marvo hg9066w

[zaludjen]

@zaludjen - any news?

Tbh didnt tinker with it last few days, couldnt grab any time, but noticed that whenever i accidently touch the dongle it losts connection to the pc immediately, have to remove it, then plug it back in for it to work again so i guess its faulty dongle
Btw, i downloaded program called snappy driver installer to try installing ALL drivers up to date, no BT drivers found but one other program for drivers shows the drivers date for BT is year 2006

I haven't heard of Snappy Driver, but generally speaking those sort of 'driver installer' programs are crap and should be avoided.
They have a bad reputation of at least getting the drivers wrong and making things worse, or at worse, simply being a delivery avenue for malware.

Take what it says needs updating with a grain of salt, then go and look for the drivers from the actual manufacturers websites.
Most drivers for motherboard hardware these days come part of the regular Windows Updates. It tends to be only the 3rd party add-on cards like graphics or surround sound audio cards that may need manually checking, but even these usually install their own 'phone home' software to check for updates.

So true
Came across snappy on another forum I work on.
Same answer from other Techs - Avoid
