Windows 10: Bluetooth Device Personal Area Network Was accidently deleted and scan for hardware changes...

As the title says i accidently deleted Bluetooth Device Personal Area Network under Network Adapter in Device Manager and i havent found a way to restore it. ive tried everything i can think of and have come up empty

:)

 

bluetooth device (personal area network) listed multiple times

I am running Windows 10 Pro.
I have noticed an issue in device manager when using my bluetooth connection to create a PAN with my ipad to share the internet on the iPad.

Under network adapters, "bluetooth device (personal area network) #5" is listed. Several times I have seen #5, #6, and #7 listed after the "(personal area network)".

How do I get rid of that or edit it so that the serial numbering does not show up constantly?
Thanks a lot.

 

"add new bluetooth device" vs "join personal area network"


i don't know if i am missing something or it is a bug on w10.
i click "add new bluetooth device" and then i can pair a lumia, ok. i can see my phone in "join personal area network" window.
if i try to pair the phone from "join personal area network" window i can see it in bluetooth devices list but not in "join personal area network" window.
so... it is a bug?! did i make anything wrong?! what is the difference between "add new bluetooth device" and "join personal area network" on w10?! what is "join personal area network" used for?!
thanks

 

I accidentally disabled and deleted my Bluetooth on Device Manager

Hi Mira,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to scan for the hardware changes in the Device Manager and check if the Bluetooth driver appears in the Device Manager:

1. Right click on Start button and click on Device Manager.

2. Right click your computer name in Device Manager and click Scan for hardware changes. Device manager scans your system and automatically reinstalls the deleted device.

Hope the above information was helpful. If you need further assistance, we will be glad to assist you.
