Tried to set up pass-through, may have bricked bluetooth adapter?

Bluetooth adapter: CSR8510 A10
OS: Windows 10
Passthrough instructions: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Bluetooth_Passthrough

Our family loves playing our Wii games through Dolphin, it was working for months, but setting up and maintaining the wii-motes was kind of a pain.  I read about bluetooth passthrough, and felt this would make family game nights go a little smoother.  Followed the instructions (linked above) regarding Zadig.  Passthrough was working, but inconsistent, and sometimes gave errors.  The page says, if you have issues such as "LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND" try installing the latest x64 asbdk driver, so followed that link and installed.  I think this adds a new entry in zadig called "libusbK" so I've tried loading that driver.  Tried reverting to the other.  I tried a few things, and I really wish I had kept track and could be more specific, but after messing with it for a while, I can't get passthrough working and I can't go back and get the Wiimotes working the original way.  Not sure if I bricked my bluetooth adapter.  Dug around online and found possible drivers for my bluetooth adapter, and the install seems to have gotten bluetooth working (no BT devices to test with), but I can't get the wiimotes working anymore.  I've tried both the emulation and passthrough methods on the latest versions of Dolphin and also gone back to 5.0 to try connecting there.

Is there a way I can use Zadig or something else to get my bluetooth adapter restored to its original state?  Are the issues I originally had when trying passthrough solveable?  I would happily buy another adapter if I KNEW it would work, but there are very few "green" options on that "adapter test results" list and fewer still that I see available for purchase. 

Thanks for any help or info!

As an update, I gave up and got the Mayflash DolphinBar and so far it's working great. It's disappointing that I didn't get responses to this question about Bluetooth pass-through.

At this time I'm skeptical about how viable this passthrough tech really is for the common user. The set-up was tricky, it wasn't working great afterwards, and I eventually broke things to an unrecoverable state. The paltry list of working Bluetooth adapters doesn't inspire confidence either. Maybe someday I'll try again when there's more support out there for it.

You probably didn't brick it. You likely just improperly installed the drivers. Which is easy to accidentally do in Windows.

Anyways, feature is trivially easy to set up in Linux because the USB stack actually works there. It's not really our problem that Microsoft's design makes it a pain to take exclusive control of a USB device without installing dummy drivers. Wink
