What is Ralink Bluetooth Stack64?

Overview

The most common release is 9.0.725.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC.

Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The primary executable is named BsHelpCS.exe. The setup package generally installs about 25 files and is usually about 15.89 MB (16,657,697 bytes).
