Hi,

I recently bought a USB Bluetooth Adapter with Broadcom BCM20702 Chipset (https://goo.gl/DHJHXs) and installed the WIDCOMM Bluetooth software that came with it and the BTTRAY.exe is running in Task Manager but is not showing up in the tray as it used to back on my old Windows Vista machine that had Broadcom Bluetooth 2.0 built in.

I have tried everything in this post: goo.gl/JPRupq and still it isn't showing up.

I hope you can help, Matthew.

    Oh I see, sorry about that.  You'd have to get that directly from WIDCOMM then, since it's not pre-bundled with Windows operating system.

    In Windows 10 you can pull out the action center (notification list) and use the Connect option there in place of the bluetooth tray icon.

    But if you want it there, you can find the option here in Settings

    Yes I tried that but it's the windows built in Bluetooth menu I want the WIDCOMM specific one. 

    Thanks, Matthew
