Same thing here, installed the Options software and everything works as how they should be.Īfter that, back to my Macbook Pro. I also own an old iMac, but its Bluetooth is not compatible with the MX Master, so I have to use the unifying receiver, which I set for ‘Option 2’. Installed the Options software and everything works perfectly, no issues at all. I own a Macbook Pro 13-inch with Touch Bar (mid-2017), which I dual booted and installed Windows 10 via Boot Camp alongside the Mac OS X (High Sierra).Īfter getting my MX Master 2S, I set the 'Option 1' to connect to the Mac OS X via Bluetooth. I hope this can be resolved with another update in the future, but with this last driver release being May 2018, I doubt it.Hi.
Since AirPods and Bluetooth Low Energy devices work fine with the same hardware in macOS, it must be a driver issue in Windows. This new driver doesn’t fix all the issues for me, but it makes the stuttering massively better, going from multiple times a second to every couple of seconds. Choose View → Devices by connection, then expand Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System → Pci Bus → Intel(R) Serial IO UART Host Controller → Broadcom Serial Bus Driver over UART Bus Enumerator. You can confirm the driver version and roll back after the update if necessary in Device Manager. Make sure you select the right version, 12.0.1.874.
If the update is not in the list, you can manually download it from the Microsoft Update Catalog:. Install this new driver, restarting when prompted (or manually after if not). In the list should be an update for ‘ Broadcom – System – 12:00:00 AM – 12.0.1.874’, one minor version increment from 12.0.1.873. Open ‘Show optional updates’ for additional updates. Go to Settings → Update & Security → Windows Update and click the Check for Updates button. There’s a better driver which Windows won’t install automatically but should make available as an optional update in Windows Update at some point. The Bluetooth drivers that come with Boot Camp WindowsSupport are version 12.0.1.873. Since this is only an issue in Windows, it must be a driver issue. Try disconnecting other BLE devices and trying again. View → Sort by connection, then open the Bluetooth enumerator and BLE devices are grouped separately to non-BLE devices. You can find out if a device is a regular Bluetooth peripheral or a Low Energy peripheral in Device Manager. This isn’t a problem in macOS, only Windows. When more than one BLE device is connected to your Mac while in Windows, this causes all BLE devices to interfere with each other, causing lag and stuttering.
