Windows includes the MS Bluetooth Stack and most Bluetooth adapters use it by default. Starting with Dolphin {{revision|4.0-8325}}, if you're using Windows 8 or newer, all you need to do to connect your -TR Wii Remotes is using the red Sync button on the back (pressing '''1''' + '''2''' won't work, you must use the red Sync button). If the four Wii Remote ligths don't stop flashing when Windows shows the device already connected, then go to Dolphin and press the Controllers button. There, in the Wiimotes section, be sure to have "Real Wiimote" selected and then press the "Refresh" button. If all goes fine the Wiimote should vibrate, the four leds stop flashing and the left led will stay on. Sometimes you have to press the "Refresh" button more than one time. If this is the case, be sure that the four wiimote ligths are flashing when you press the "Refresh" button. If the four leds have stopped flashing, you have to press the Wiimote red Sync button again. Here is a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpdfH-TFl7o video that shows the process].
Windows includes the MS Bluetooth Stack and most Bluetooth adapters use it by default. Starting with Dolphin {{revision|4.0-8325}}, if you're using Windows 8 or newer, all you need to do to connect -TR Wii Remotes is the typical Wii Remote connectivity as described in [[Configuring Controllers#Wii Remote "Wiimote"|Configuring Controllers]]. If you're running Windows 7 or earlier you'll have a previous version of MS Bluetooth Stack that lacks some Bluetooth functions which the -TR Wii Remote uses. In that case you have two solutions for this problem, the DolphinBar or the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack. Both have superior Bluetooth functionality and not only allow -TR Wii Remotes to work, but also fix minor Wii Remote bugs that are present in the MS Bluetooth Stack used on Windows 7 and earlier.
