Hi!
I'm using a CSR module with my Windows 10 Creators Update PC (version 1709) and do have it working. I plugged the USB dongle in, and in device manager I disabled the existing Bluetooth radio that was in my PC and did 'update drivers' on the new dongle, then rebooted (the reboot seems to be required).
However there are actually two methods of using Puck.js with Windows... You can use Windows' built-in functionality, or can just tell Windows not to touch your CSR dongle and can then have the Native Web IDE use the dongle directly without having to pair. That might actually end up being the easiest solution for you?
There are instructions here for earlier versions of Windows that show you how to do that: http://www.espruino.com/Web+IDE#as-a-native-application
Just to make life even more difficult it's also possible you're suffering from another issue we discovered recently - The 1v95 firmware for Puck.js seems to have some problems connecting after pairing with Windows. It should work fine when using the Native IDE direct with the CSR dongle, but pairing then connecting often seems to cause the device to reboot itself. It's something I'm looking into with Nordic at the moment and it seems to be a bug in their firmware - hopefully we'll get it sorted soon.
... so if you do get Windows to the point where it's showing Bluetooth LE devices you can connect to, you might want to try downgrading the Puck.js firmware to 1v94 for now - just in case that was causing you more issues.
Hope that helps!
