LMX9838 DONGLE compatibility with Windows 10

Hi,

Could someone confirm if LMX9838 dongle works with native Windows 10 Bluetooth stack? (without any third party OS components).

I am using Windows 10 Pro on a desktop PC with a SMK-link bluetooth usb dongle (or other dongles from other vendors) as host and a TI LMX9838 dongle as bluetooth device.

After entering the pin, It pairs successfully and Incoming and Outgoing COM ports are shown on Windows 10 but when I actually try to open the virtual COM port using Realterm, a "Apro exception" window pops up and fails to communicate to the port.

I also tried to open the COM port in my application directly using Windows CreateFile API but this function returns (-1) instead of returning a valid handle to the COM port. the exact same procedure and works fine on Windows7.

That said, if I install driver and app from link:

Then everything works. It seems this replaces Windows10 components that handle bluetooth virtual COM ports.

Thanks,
