The Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COM130) driver allows compatible Windows software to communicate with a paired Bluetooth device through a virtual serial port. Associated with Microsoft’s Bluetooth support, it is useful when a serial-enabled accessory needs a COM connection rather than a physical cable. Although listed under USB, this entry represents a Bluetooth serial link; COM130 is the port number assigned by Windows, not a separate hardware model.
Key Features
- Virtual serial communication: Provides a COM-port interface for compatible Bluetooth devices that support the Serial Port Profile (SPP).
- Application compatibility: Lets software that uses serial connections communicate with a Bluetooth accessory when the correct port and connection settings are selected.
- Windows integration: Works with Windows Bluetooth components and a compatible Bluetooth adapter driver to establish the serial connection.
- Port identification: Appears as COM130 in Device Manager, helping you select the appropriate connection in your application.
How to Install Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COM130) Driver
- Check your Windows version. Listed supported systems are Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Confirm compatibility with your Windows edition and system architecture before choosing a package. For Windows 10/11 systems, do not assume Windows 11 compatibility from this listing.
- Check the Bluetooth adapter. Open Device Manager and confirm that your Bluetooth adapter is working. If it shows an error, install or update its driver through Windows Update or the adapter manufacturer’s official support channel first.
- Choose a trusted source. Before proceeding with a Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COM130) driver download for Windows, check whether Windows already supplies the required component. Use Windows Update or an official manufacturer source for a free download where available; avoid packages that promise universal compatibility.
- Pair your accessory. Enable Bluetooth and pair the serial-capable device. Depending on your Windows version and accessory, you may need to enable its serial service or add a Bluetooth COM port.
- Verify the connection. Look under “Ports (COM & LPT)” in Device Manager, then select COM130 in your application if that is the assigned port. Restart if prompted and test communication.
Keep the Bluetooth adapter and Windows components updated to help maintain reliable connections. Choose the latest version compatible with your system rather than simply the newest package available. An update will not necessarily resolve every connection issue, so also check pairing, accessory settings, and the COM port selected by your software.
