Intel has just made available new Wireless Bluetooth builds developed for some of its Bluetooth adapters, namely versions 21.60.0 and 21.40.4, which are compatible with both 32- and 64-bit variants of Microsoft’s Windows 10 and Windows 7/8.1 operating systems, respectively.

While both updates include functional and security improvements for the supported OSes, the 21.60.0 version alone resolves the audio glitches seen during HFP voice call (when Bluetooth LE mouse is connected), as well as the low audio quality over Bluetooth speakers.

When it comes to the suitable adapters, this release can be applied on Intel’s Wireless-N 7260/7265, Wireless-AC 9260/9461/9462/9560, as well as on Wi-Fi 6 AX200 and Wi-Fi 6 AX201 adapters.

In addition to that, this release can also be installed on systems running one of the compatible OSes that include an Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260, Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165/3168/7265/8260/8265 (+Desktop Kit), or Tri-Band Wireless-AC 17265/18260/18265 component.

As for the downloadable packages, the producer has provided 6 downloads (one for each OS and bit architecture), as well as 3 other archives developed for IT administrators who need advanced functions (only for Windows 10 platforms).

Therefore, if you intend to apply one of the available packages, simply get the appropriate download, run the setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. Also, if not asked by the installer, make sure to perform a reboot to ensure all changes take effect properly.
