Windows 10: Bluetooth Disappeared after Windows 10 Reset

Hello,


I did a "Fresh Start" function to wipe all bloatware from my brand new (as of today) laptop and my bluetooth has disappeared. I know for a fact it was working because prior to the fresh start as I had paired my new mouse with the new laptop no issue and it was working fine.


I have tried every solution on the internet, which have been the following:


-checked to make sure Bluetooth wasnt off (toggle switch isnt even there)

-Ran Bluetooth Troubleshooter (says computer isnt capable of Bluetooth)

-Updated and installed drivers from manufacturer (done successfully but still not listed as a device in device manager or even recognizes bluetooth on the laptop)

-Clicked Show hidden devices in Device Manager (no Bluetooth appeared, went through each sub category as well to make sure)

-Restarted computer in safe mode then went back to normal mode (nothing)

-updated ALL the drivers in Device Manager incl. USB controllers (nothing)


If anyone is able to help, please advise!!!!


Thanks in advance!!!!!!

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision

 

Bluetooth in windows 10

USB-BT211 Mini Bluetooth Dongle | Networking | ASUS Global

• Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback

Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

Edit2:

@aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.

Bluetooth in windows 10

So I bought a new Bluetooth headphones the skull candy uproar since my old one isn't working. It came with only the headset and usb charging cable. The problem is I can't seem to pair it to my pc. I have windows 10 by the way. There is no Bluetooth on off button in windows settings. I went to device manager but there us no icon for Bluetooth. I did everything I knew but none of it worked.I can post pictures if anyone needs.An alternative might be a Bluetooth dongle but I m not sure I'd it would work plus I paid $50 so don't wanna spend more

I looked up on Internet and many people seem to have issues with windows 10 and Bluetooth. I thought of asking here knowing my UK friends are smart.

Anyone have any idea of how to get Bluetooth to work on my pc.

PS don't curse windows 10. I already know it's a mess and not a very good os.
