Windows 10: Bluetooth Driver Disappeared!

Hello,

Earlier the Bluetooth in my laptop bugged so I had to deactivate/activate it from the device manager, after doing it twice it just disappeared from there, I can still see it in Services. I tried:

Uninstalling and installing everything even different versions for different laptops.

Restoring Windows 10 (that did absolutely nothing, just deleted some apps)

Installing the hidden devices thing (old devices) through device manager.

Stopping the services and running them again.

Troubleshooting the drivers, bluetooth apart and devices. (I get: Bluetooth is not available on this device.)

I also read every post there is about this problem and nothing seems to solve this. Where the hell did my driver go?


Any help would be really appreciated


PS: I had Atheros Qualcom Bluetooth driver, that's all I could remember

Bluetooth disappeared

Hi,

This error may be caused by a corrupted Bluetooth driver in your device. To help you fix this, go to Device Manager
to ensure that you have the latest Bluetooth driver installed on your PC.

• Type Device Manager in the search box on the taskbar. Click it from the list of results, and then expand
  Bluetooth.
• Right-click the Bluetooth radio, then select Properties.
  Select Driver tab then click on Update Driver.

In case that Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can check the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions there.

After updating your drivers, you will need to pair again your Bluetooth headphones on your PC.

You can follow the steps in this
article for a step-by-step guide on how to connect your Bluetooth device.

Let us know how it goes.
