Windows 10: BLUETOOTH DISAPPEARED FROM DEVICE MANAGER FIX

I FOUND THE ANSWER! I have been struggling for weeks with this and could not find an answer on the forum that fixed it, but I found it myself!1. Go to Device Manager - you will notice that you cannot see "Bluetooth" as an option - click on View in the menu bar and select "show hidden devices"2. You will see tha Bluetooth now appears but is greyed out because it is hidden.3. scroll ALL THE WAY DOWN to "Universal Serial Bus Controllers and expand it. You will notice that at least one of the USB ports will have an Exclamation point in a triangle indicating there is an error with the device. Righ

Bluetooth disappeared from Device Manager

I have the same problem as Benjamin with an Acer Aspire Switch 10. Was working fine with Bluetooth speaker. Now all trace of Bluetooth has disappeared from Device Manager. The Bluetooth troubleshooter tells me my tablet is not compatible with bluetooth!
I have tried re-installing the Broadcom Bluetooth Driver from the Acer site but to no avail and tried most of the other suggestions including windows update listed in Benjamin's post.

Appreciate any help

Bluetooth Device Disappeared from device manager

After the last Windows update my computer no longer has Bluetooth capability and the Bluetooth device has disappeared from the device manager.

The device that I was paired to is still in the Bluetooth & Other devices but it says Bluetooth is turned off. I have turned it on and restarted my computer. Still no Bluetooth.
