  1. Bluetooth is missing from Device Manager


    I've been having issues with my laptop suddenly thinking it doesn't support bluetooth. I've tried all the options I can find including running the troubleshooter, telling device manager to show hidden items, downloading and installing the latest drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website, and more. It seems if I can get bluetooth to show up in the device manager I'll be able to uninstall it, restart the laptop, and it should reinstall bluetooth upon booting back up. But I cannot get bluetooth to show up in the device manager. I don't want to accept that bluetooth simply doesn't work on my laptop any more and resort to buying an external bluetooth adapter, but it's looking like that's my only option right now. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

    Can't Find Bluetooth on device manager.

    Hi LoChung,

    This may be caused by a corrupt or an outdated driver. It may also be caused by an incorrect device connection setup.

    We suggest that you check Fix Bluetooth problems in Windows 10: FAQ. Please perform the steps on the following
    topics to resolve your issue:

    • How can I automatically fix common Bluetooth problems?
    • The Bluetooth toggle is missing in Bluetooth & other devices settings or can't be turned on.
    • Bluetooth doesn't appear and there are no unknown device listed in the Device Manager.

    If the issue still persists, kindly give us more details by answering the following questions:

    • Have you done any recent changes on your computer prior to this issue?
    • Have you tried your Bluetooth device with another computer and check if you were able to use it?

    Keep us updated with the status of the issue so that we can resume working on your concern.

    Hi,

    Since you mentioned that the said driver is missing in Device Manager, what we suggest is for you to check in the Hidden Devices section on Device Manager. Kindly follow the steps below:

    • On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select
      Device Manager.
    • Click on View and select
      Show Hidden Devices.
    • Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.
    • If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select
      Update Driver Software
    • Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.
    Please post back with the result for further assistance

    bluetooth missing in device manager

    I upgraded my Toshiba L50-B-1NL to Windows 10 yesterday and I now find that my Bluetooth mouse is not working (it was absolutely fine in Windows 8.1). On checking device manager, I find that the Bluetooth is completely missing in the alphabetical list.
    I cannot seem to find any assistance anywhere on how to resolve this problem. Can anyone help?
