Windows 10: Bluetooth no longer available

Discus and support Bluetooth no longer available in Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware to solve the problem; Last night, Bluetooth suddenly disappeared from Windows 10. No Bluetooth button in the action center, and no switch in "Bluetooth and Other Devices"... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Drivers and Hardware' started by JJTaylor29, Aug 15, 2020.

  1. Bluetooth no longer available


    Last night, Bluetooth suddenly disappeared from Windows 10. No Bluetooth button in the action center, and no switch in "Bluetooth and Other Devices" to toggle Bluetooth on/off. Oddly, in device manager, the list of devices keeps disappearing and reappearing constantly, like it keep trying to refresh something. Here is what I've tried so far:


    - Uninstalling Intel Wireless Bluetooth from the device manager it just reappears after reboot

    - Rolling Windows back to a week ago when Bluetooth was working perfectly through System Restore

    - Complete "Reset" of Windows I guess this is analogous to a reinstall of Windows 10?

    - Reinstalling the motherboard chip set drivers

    - Reinstalling the latest Intel Wireless Bluetooth drivers

    - Updating my motherboard to the latest BIOS


    Here are my pertinent system specs:

    Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    MSI B450I Gaming Plus AC


    I should also note, I have another computer that is identical to this one, and it has not had any issues with Bluetooth or any other issues for that matter. The good computer has received all the same Windows updates as far as I can tell, so I don't think it is related to that.


    When I plug a USB Bluetooth dongle into the computer, it has Bluetooth functionality as normal. So the issue is with the integrated Bluetooth in the motherboard it seems.


    I noticed in events recorded under Intel Wireless Bluetooth in device manager, that are a few errors. I'm not sure how to interpret them, so I'll post the details below:

    Event 1 is duplicated at a few other times. It appears the events are related to drivers bth.inf and oem31.inf


    I am currently at a loss. Any help with this would be much appreciated!

    Bluetooth Technology Gets Faster With Bluetooth 3.0

    From its annual All Hands Meeting in Tokyo this week, the Bluetooth SIG formally adopted Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 + High Speed (HS), or Bluetooth 3.0. This latest iteration of the popular short-range wireless technology fulfills the consumers' need for speed while providing the same wireless Bluetooth experience – faster. Manufacturers of consumer electronics and home entertainment devices can now build their products to send large amounts of video, music and photos between devices wirelessly at speeds consumers expect.
    Bluetooth 3.0 gets its speed from the 802.11 radio protocol. The inclusion of the 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL) provides increased throughput of data transfers at the approximate rate of 24 Mbps. In addition, mobile devices including Bluetooth 3.0 + HS will realize increased power savings due to enhanced power control built in.


    "Like Ricky Bobby in Talladega Nights, this latest version was 'born to go fast,' said Mike's Blog, Ph.D., executive director of the Bluetooth SIG. "Utilizing the 802.11 radio was a natural choice as it provides efficiencies for both our members and consumers – members get more function out of the two radios they are already including in devices, and consumers with Bluetooth 3.0 + HS products will get faster exchange of information without changing how they connect. We are excited to expand the possibilities of the PAN."

    This newest version of Bluetooth technology builds on the inherent qualities of the current 2.1 + EDR version, including Simple Secure Pairing and built-in, automatic security. And as with all versions of theBluetooth specification, v3.0 + HS provides developers, manufacturers and consumers with the benefit of backwards compatibility, enabling both the expansion and enhancement of this technology with every new specification release. Once products reach the market, the easiest way for consumers to learn which devices are compatible with other Bluetooth enabled devices is to visit the Bluetooth Gadget Guide.

    Applications
    With the availability of Bluetooth version 3.0 + HS, consumers can expect to move large data files of videos, music and photos between their own devices and the trusted devices of others, without the need for cables and wires. Some applications consumers will experience include:
    • Wirelessly bulk synchronize music libraries between PC and music player or phone
    • Bulk download photos to a printer or PC
    • Send video files from camera or phone to computer or television
    Availability

    The Bluetooth SIG's formal adoption of the specification is only the first step in the product lifecycle. News out today from wireless chip manufacturers and Bluetooth SIG member companies Atheros, Broadcom and CSR shows the second step – getting silicon solutions to device manufacturers – is already underway. End products for consumers are expected to be in the market in 9 to 12 months.

    Technical Specifications
    This new specification release includes several major enhancements (learn more here - page requires member login):
    • Generic Alternate MAC/PHY (AMP)
    • 802.11 Protocol Adaptation Layer (PAL)
    • Generic Test Methodology
    • Enhanced Power Control
    • Unicast Connectionless Data
