Windows 10: Accidently deleted all bluetooth devices straight from device manager.

Hello.I looked at other solutions to similar problems and they all said when bluetooth doesn't work, I should directly uninstall from device manager, which I did, and it will automatically reinstall when I restart. I deleted it from the hidden files list and restarted, but the bluetooth device did not reinstall. It is gone even from hidden view. Is there a way I can download the driver again? Thank you.

Deleted all of Bluetooth in Device Manager

Did you mean that the BT entry in Device manager is hidden?There should be a Bluetooth section within which your Bluetooth adapter should be identified by name [Intel, in my case]. Here's an example.


If the adapter entry is 'hidden', it means that Device manager no longer detects its presence.My own Device manager no longer greys out 'hidden' devices so I have to set-unset the Show hidden devices entry to check which are 'hidden' and which are not.
I suggest you -
1 Check in your Bios for any enable/disable setting for it.
2 Get your Service manual and check the hardware itself [post #9].

I'd still like to know exactly what you did.

Those should have been the drivers for the model you listed.
Open device manager and see if they are there.
As for turning on go to the notifications box (Far right on the task bar) click on the bluetooth symbol.



If not there, right click choose edit and add it
