Windows 10: Bluetooth devices cannot be displayed and managed from settings

I cannot manage bluetooth conncections from the bleutooth section in settings.

No device are shown:



I have removed and reinstalled the bluetooth driver, stopped, disabled, reenabled and started the bluetooth services, including several reboots:




The Device manager shows bluetooth as working fine and several devices configured:




When I try to unistall the devices they disinstall ok but after a short while they "magically" show up again.

I also tried to hack the registry but, despite all my efforts, I'm not able to get rid of the device entry in the Bluetooth enumerator:



where I set the privileges to Full for Everyone.



When I try to remove the entry I get the following error:


even if I boot the system in safe mode.



Could anybody help in troubleshooth the problem?
At the moment my bluethooth connecction is pretty much useless.



Thanks.

Bluetooth devices connected and working but not in the "Manage Bluetooth Devices" setting.

Alright so. I had an issue with my Bluetooth mouse connecting. So I uninstalled the Bluetooth adapter from the Device list and paired the mouse again. Mouse works fine but now I don't see the mouse listed under the "Manage Bluetooth Devices" setting.
I do see it listed under Bluetooth on device lists. Is there a fix for this annoyance?

 

Bluetooth setting disappeared from both settings and device manager

This happened before and it just 'solved itself', however this time around it doesn't seem to do that.

Issue description

I have a pair of bluetooth headphones Sony MDR-ZX770BN that I have been using with my phone, my work phone, my work computer, and my home computer for a year now. All of a sudden, it stops working with my work computer and can't connect. I look in the settings and there's no bluetooth setting:





I look in the device manager and the bluetooth setting is not there. When I say this I mean it like really, not the specific bluetooth device for these headphones, the top-level bluetooth setting isn't there:





Troubleshooting done so far

• Restarted the computer
  
• One guide suggested removing it from Device Manager but since it doesn't show up there I can't really do that
  
• One guide suggested going to the manufacturers homepage and reinstall the driver, but since the manufacturer doesn't have any drivers available I can't do that.
  
• Verified that the headphones work with the other devices (currently using them with my phone)
  
• Tried using the 'Add Legacy Device' from the Device Manager, but no bluetooth device shows up in the list of available options, even when setting the headphones into 'pairing' mode.
  
• Tried to add it straight from the Settings tab by setting them to 'pairing mode' but they don't show up in the list there either.

Current Situation

I have found one thing that might point to the issue, but I'm not sure how to go from here:

• One guide suggested removing it from Devices and Printers. I can't seem to do that for some reason. This might be where the issue is but I'm not sure how I would proceed from here:
  

Any help, or additional sources that I can use is very much appreciated!
