Windows 10: Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity on Windows 10

I started off not able suddenly not able to connect to bluetooth on my laptop.

The toggle for Bluetooth had disappeared on both the action center and Bluetooth settings and is only available in device manager settings when viewing hidden devices.

I updated my WiFi and Bluetooth driver from the Dell website and it worked briefly. I was then greeted by the blue screen of death and have spent hours on troubleshooters and forums as my WiFi connection wouldn't work tried on several browsers and sites, and works fine on other devices.

I have done a network reset which worked for about ten minutes and is now not working again. Network troubleshooter says could not detect network's proxy settings - have fiddled with these with no luck. Bluetooth troubleshooter again saying Bluetooth not available on device.

Any help or things to try would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle | Networking | ASUS Global

• Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback

Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

Edit2:

@aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
USB-BT400 | Networking | ASUS Global
