Windows 10: Bluetooth disappeared on Acer laptop with Windows 10

I have used Bluetooth headphones fine on my Swift SF315-41 Acer laptop with Windows 10 64-bit for months. This morning, it stopped working for no apparent reason:

• It disappeared from the Device Manager
• When I click View: Show hidden devices in Device Manager, it still does not appear
• I updated Windows and restarted the PC several times but that did not help
• I went to Acer's website and reinstalled the correct bluetooth driver, then restarted twice but that did not help - the driver is installed, but Device Manager cannot see it for some reason
• The bluetooth button is missing from Action Center
• In Settings: Bluetooth & other devices, the on/off toggle button has disappeared
• When I use the bluetooth troubleshooter, it just says "device does not have bluetooth", even though I have been using it for months

I would be grateful for any advice you could offer.

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 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 Keeps Disappearing From Settings ??


Hey guys looking for some help with my Acer E1-531 Windows 10 laptop.

The issue i'm having is my bluetooth keeps disappearing from my laptop. I use a bluetooth speaker and every few restarts all my bluetooth settings just disappear. When ever i try to search "Bluetooth" all that comes up is "Airplane Mode".

I spoke with Acer tech support and they recommended i re-install windows so i did and that worked but now a week later i'm having the same problem. I even tried installing drivers from the Acer site and after it's downloaded i still can't find anything bluetooth related.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks alot.
