Intel Dual Band 7260 PCi bluetooth connection issue

[SPozn]

I have a Intel Dual Band 7260 PCi - my bluetooth connection to sony nusic center CMT-SX7 is lost evry time sony center goes to standby and I need to reconnect mannually. Previsously I had Atheros PCI card and had no problems with it (sony center always was connected or reconnected automatically) so I assmume the problem is with Intel card / drivers. Please help to solve it.

In what device are you using the 7260?

What versions of the Intel Bluetooth and WiFi drivers do you have installed? Here are links to download the latest. If you don't have these, I recommend that you install them...

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27195/Wireless-Intel-Wireless-Bluetooth-for-Windows-10 Download Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® for Windows® 10 v20.0.0

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27203/Wireless-Intel-PROSet-Wireless-Software-and-Drivers-for-Windows-10?product=75439 Download Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software and Drivers for Windows® 10 v20.0.2

I recommend that you install the Bluetooth driver package before the WiFi driver package.

Hope this helps,

Yes I'm using these latest drivers, but will try to delete them and install in sequence you've mentioned. Will revert. Thanks for the idea

There are reasons why you cannot change your wireless card:

Hi Scott,

Does uninstall the two drivers in 'Control panel \ program \program and function' meant to completely uninstall?

Regards,

Right-click on the Windows Start button and select Apps & Features. Find the entries for Intel Wireless Bluetooth and Intel PROSet/Wireless Software. Uninstall both packages. Reboot. Install the latest Bluetooth package and then install the latest PROSet/Wireless package.
