Realtek bluetooth usb adapter RTL8671b

The CD that came with the device listed RTL8671B, but it's not on Realtek's website. Instead the manual points you to:

Feb 2021 Update

Adding visibility to @carkrueger 's comment below

If you look here: https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=realtek+bluetooth+1.6.1015 You will find now: 1.6.1015.3014 from 11.01.2021

Direct download link: http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/driver/drvs/2021/02/0d13721d-7aa7-47cf-887a-f53bcd228a5e_04c173bad44cec04d528d260392958dc6e5bcec3.cab

for backup purposes: h**ps://web.archive.org/web/20210216175344/http://download.windowsupdate.com/c/msdownload/update/driver/drvs/2021/02/0d13721d-7aa7-47cf-887a-f53bcd228a5e_04c173bad44cec04d528d260392958dc6e5bcec3.cab

Direct download and the popup window for 1.6.1015.3014 didn't initially work. I ended up needing to right click the link and select Save target as. For it to work for me on Windows 10, I unzipped the cab file into a folder and then used Device Manager to look at that folder. Worked like a charm.

Thanks for the driver. Now device manager shows Realtek Bluetooth 5.3 Adapter and hci 12.56518 / lmp12.45992, my Easy Idea 5.0 adapter is based on Realtek RTL8761BUV chip, works now on 5.3 driver. However, it didn't solve my problem. I'm trying to launch the Anker Soundcore Note i (bt 5.2) headset, but there is still hope.

This worked and allowed me to install the driver for my Volans USB BT 5.3 and it now actually finds devices!
