I noticed that when I disconnected and reconnected the BT dongle, Windows 7 would attempt to find and install drivers for my Bluetooth dongle, but about 6 seconds later it showed MotioninJoy drivers installing. I found this very odd, being as MotioninJoy was the company who created the DS3 program I have installed which allows me to play PC games with my PS3 controller. Since I no longer had need for using my PS3 controller (I now use a PS4 controller) I uninstalled the DS3 Tool.
Still the drivers were installed in the computer. I found a video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsgVKZZvm6o , on YouTube which almost perfectly explains how to uninstall the drivers completely. Personally, I found the "MotioninJoy Virtual Xinput for Windows" drivers somewhere else inside of the Device Manager. It was listed under "Microsoft Common Controller For Windows Class". This is probably because I used a PS3 controller. I had to uninstall the driver, take out my BT dongle, re-insert it, let the MotioninJoy driver detect the device, and then uninstall the driver again about 3 times over.
After this I also looked up online and found this webpage, http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/help-in-reinstalling-the-bluetooth-drivers-on-my/ea0f822e-276a-e011-8dfc-68b599b31bf5 , using Step 1 of the Answer. If you can't find it here it is:
Step 1: Start the Bluetooth service.
1. Click Start, type services.msc and hit enter.
2. From the list of items, double click Bluetooth Support Service.
3. Change the startup type to Automatic and click Start button to start service.
4. Click Apply and then click ok.
After this, I am now able to use Bluetooth flawlessly. Playing 4-player Super Smash Bros with 4 wiimotes on a PC is incredibly fun!
