Been having issues with my WiFi on my PC


It's late for you so maybe leave for a while. There is a program called Driver Explorer where you can remove drivers but doesn't explain where this Broadcom driver came from even if you do remove the driver.

So I uninstalled the device (with Bluetooth off) and rebooted. Had to turn Bluetooth off an on again in settings after reboot. Windows installed this driver. Not checked updates yet. The Intel driver and support
said there was an update. Its working fine at the mo. Will update later.

I tried the same thing you suggested for the Intel Bluetooth driver with the Broadcom 20702 4.0 USB device. I uninstalled it and rebooted and now it is not listed in the Bluetooth section of Device manager with a triangle. However it is listed in other devices with the triangle, but I was able to remove the devices ( Airpods Pros ) and pair them again, now I get no choppy audio and it seems to be working fine, sounds great so I will consider this a fix for now unless other issues come up..... researching broadcom BCM20702 there are so many listings with fixes that don't solve it so as I said I will consider this a fix for now. I can remove the Airpods Pros which I could do before and pair them and add them back.. they work fine and that is good for me.........lol

Right now that drive is sitting in my Device Manager under other" and I have not had any issues with my system so rather than spending horus and hours trying to find out why it is there but won't update, it just sits there......lol

To see if the driver is really needed you could disable it in Device Manager. If something stops working you just need to enable it again.

Yes I could do that but when I reboot it comes back.. So by it sitting there with he yellow triangle whatever it is for isn't working now and I don't notice it so as I said earlier. That is what I am going to do, I've spent hours and hours trying to fix this with no results. If I don't notice anything not working it's fine just sitting there in "other" in device manager

Thanks for your reply
