I stumbled across a six pin header on my motherboard designed for an internal Bluetooth module that uses USB protocols to communicate, and ended up making the actual cable that allowed me to place the dongle inside the laptop.

Windows 7 & Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth CSR8510 A10 not playing to K-mart's Blaze speaker. The bluetooth drivers provided by windows don't provide all the services for the Cambridge Silicon Radio Bluetooth CSR8510 A10 adapter.
The dongle is http://auspcmarket.com.au/orico-bta-402-bluetooth-4-0-adapter
Now .Windows 10 has some neat new features for integrated Bluetooth modules, like from the action center, and special connection menus for audio devices.
Despite the fact that I'm using the specified Bluetooth module port, Windows 10 doesn't recognize it as a Bluetooth radio, just as another USB device, and I'm stuck with the installed drivers' annoying menus, and a hole in my action center:

I'm using a similar bluetooth dongle, from the same brand (Orico BTA-403) and Windows 10.
In my case I had to do this:
1. Turn on Bluetooth Windows Services
Open windows services (run services.msc or search for 'services' on windows search).
Change the Bluetooth Handsfree Service and the Bluetooth Support Service to automatic (on properties) and start them.
2. Uninstall the bluetooth driver that comes with the device
When you connect the device, the driver gets installed automatically.
Go to Device Manager (Right click on Start Menu and choose Device Manager or Search for Device Manager).
Find your device on the list. My device was on Universal Serial Bus Devices (I think), named CSR8510 A10.
Right click, choose Uninstall and remember to choose 'Delete the driver software for this device' (I tried without this and it did not work).
After that it started to work. You may need to remove the dongle and insert it again or to restart the computer after step 2, but if I recall correctly, it started to work right after step 2 for me.

This is what I have discovered from experimenting over a long time - for windows GUI Bluetooth features to activate, there cannot be any other installed drivers or interfaces. For me in my case, windows didn't active the features until I had uninstalled the stock drivers (CSR Wireless Stack). Basically, Windows needs to be using the 'Generic Bluetooth Radio' drivers for the features to be activated.
So for those looking to make Windows recognize their USB Bluetooth dongles, try uninstalling the drivers.
