  2. Device Manager Un-Hiding Hidden Devices

    When you connect a plug and play device, Windows Plug and Play manager detects it, finds and installs the driver. Device Manager lists the device with a solid icon.

    The driver is only removed when you uninstall the device, not simply by disconnecting the device. When the device is disconnected, its driver is still installed. By default, Device Manager only displays connected devices. When you show hidden devices, note the Bluetooth icon you see is semi-transparent (not opaque). That indicates a "non-present" device. Sometimes also called a "ghost" device. The driver is still installed but the device is not currently detected (i.e. not connected).

    Device can be disconnected when
    • Device unplugged (e.g. removing a USB device)
    • Turning a device OFF
    • Disabling the device in BIOS (then windows won't detect it) or
    • Device failure

    So
    • Check BIOS as suggested
    • Check board connections
    • Can b/t be turned off by a switch? or keyboard combination?
    Also possible the b/t h/w failed

    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.

    bluetooth device hidden in the device manager 316539d1611842813t-deleted-all-bluetooth-device-manager-tom-device-mgr-example.png
    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.

    Bluetooth is hidden in device manager?

    Had you seen it in Device Manager before so you know where it's listed there?

    Hidden devices are revealed on the View tab in Device Manager.

    If not try Scan for Hardware Changes on Action Tab.

    Go to the Support Downloads webpage for your PC or bluetooth device make/model to instal the latest driver.

    Check that there isn't an Fkey or other switch for your model PC Bluetooth.

    Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes.
