For example I have a Asus BT-400 dongle, when getting the drivers for this they only include the driver files, for Airpods you will need extra software that comes from the chip manufacturer Broadcom. The key is in the Bluetooth software that windows does not provide via windows driver update.
Hi everyone, took me a few weeks to sort out but I have my Airpods working fully on windows 10, this includes the microphone I am now able to use Airpods as a Bluetooth headset for gaming etc.
