Windows 10: Bluetooth device/driver

Hi,

Just upgraded an ACER ASPIRE 7750G with Windows 10.

It used to have Bluetooth, but now nowhere to be found opened device manager, hidden, etc.... Simply mentions "No Bluetooth device detected.

I have checked ASPIRE's page for updates, but nothing under windows 10.

Have also checked ATHEROS's site and dowloaded driver for Windows 10 but that does not do anything either.

Funny thing is: if I go to settings, bluetooth devices, some of the previous devices are still there but unable to connect them or add new.
