Bluetooth stopped working after dual booting with windows BCM43142

For some reason bluetooth does not work properly after putting windows in dual-boot

The whole problem is reported here: unix.stackexchange

This isn't right. This isn't even wrong.

Edit: I don't remember if the links are correlative, it worked for me with Broadcom 43142, besides years ago I could solve it with these guides, before that it was impossible to connect to bluetooth with this card.

Re: Bluetooth stopped working after dual booting with windows BCM43142

The kernel is loading the firmware, the problem is that it looks like Windows hijacks the device. I need to keep turning Bluetooth on and off repeatedly until it works. I'm using rfkill to turn on and off
