Wiimote refusing to connect to Dolphin - bananapi761 - 05-25-2019

I'm using a Wiimote Plus, non-TR, and a CSR bluetooth adapter with generic Microsoft drivers. All I can say is that it worked before and now it doesn't. I've uninstalled the drivers and switched between 'Generic bluetooth adapter' and 'Generic bluetooth radio', both of which worked before. I've also removed every other paired device. Most of the time when I press 1 and 2, Windows will show a notification 'We're setting up Nintendo RVL-CNT-01', so it's being recognised. I've also removed this pairing each time I try to connect, and I've updated Dolphin multiple times. Is it something that was broken before and hasn't been fixed, or is there something I'm doing wrong?

It's been quite a while, and I still haven't found a solution. I even tried another (identical) adapter with no luck... any ideas?

Are you trying to connect through windows or dolphin? Have you tried bluetooth passthrough?

Just through Dolphin, but I've tried pairing/unpairing/installing drivers through Windows to get it to work. Windows recognises it fine, but Dolphin doesn't. I tried passthrough but there seems to be driver conflicts with 2 identical bluetooth adapters, one of which I need. I'm just using the emulation, which worked fine before.

Tried it on a different PC, no luck. Did a dolphin/windows update break this? Also the remote works fine on a wii and wii u.

What is the bluetooth adapter/did you use the same one on both PCs?

[color=#ffffff]CSR8510 A10 on my desktop, and a built-in one on my laptop. Not sure of the model, but they both worked before.[/color]

What version of dolphin are you using? Did they stop working when you changed versions?

Seemed so, I can't remember what version it happened on but I'm on 5.0-10560 now. I'd like to mention that I installed/reinstalled drivers in an attempt to get it working again, but I'm still using the same drivers that they used to work on.
