If you wish to return your Bluetooth back to normal, start "Device Manager" and locate "libusbK" devices in the list. Right click the device you wish to restore and uninstall device.

If Dolphin is unable to use your Bluetooth device after doing this, it may not have the necessary hardware features. You can attempt to use the "winUSB" driver from zadig as a last ditch effort. | |||
==== usbdk ==== | |||
Some users who wish to maintain use of their Bluetooth Device and use it in Dolphin without swapping drivers have opted to use usbdk. When Dolphin starts up, you will lose control of your Bluetooth Device and regain it when Dolphin is shutdown. While this cuts down on the work if you need to use your Bluetooth device across many controllers, usbdk has many bugs. The worst of which is that any ES_Launch will immediately crash freeze the game due to usbdk losing control of the Bluetooth. | |||
