I have a MBP M5 running Tahoe 26.2, Parallels 26.2.1, Windows 11 Home ARM. With Parallels no long supporting Bluetooth device passthrough, their recommendation is to install a USB Bluetooth Adapter, however I have not been able to find an adapter that has driver support for this environment.

Can anyone tell me if they have an adapter that actually works in this environment? Ideally USB-C but USB-A is also an option.
 
Hi, same problem here. I specifically bought a USB dongle to get around the new Parallels 26 passthrough issue, but the dongles don't actually work.
It seems that the Virtual Bluetooth Driver blocks the drivers needed for the dongle.
