Windows 10: Accidentally uninstalled bluetooth drivers, reinstalled with drivers from manufacturer's...

Title says pretty much all, couldn't find the option to enable bluetooth so I messed around with it in device manager and uninstalled it. Reinstalled my motherboards (MSI B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC) bluetooth drivers from the website but when I go back into device manager there is no option for bluetooth, even showing hidden devices. There is a greyed out device under software devices in device manager, but I am hesitant to mess with it.

Accidentally uninstalled bluetooth

In an effort to repair my Bluetooth connection after updating Windows 10, I accidentally uninstalled Bluetooth. Now everything says the computer is not Bluetooth capable. I have already downloaded the manufacturer (HP) driver and tried to install, but
Bluetooth is uninstalled so the driver won't update. Is there a way to reinstall Bluetooth without having to reinstall Windows 10?

 

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
