Bluetooth driver dissappeared from device manager after disabling it

Hey thanks for the response i was loosing hope. Im on windows 10 1803 so unfortunately i dont think that update applies to me.

1) I've actually tried to view hidden devices 2 days ago and i saw ALL my bluetooth devices again but all of them were greyed out and i could not enable/update any of them. When updating it said the device was disconnected. Atleast i was able to see that my bluetooth device was a "qualcomm atheros ar3012 bluetooth 4.0 adapter". I downloaded the win 10 64 bit driver and tried to install it. After restart it didn't help and now i can't even find the bluetooth devices greyed out even when i turn on show hidden devices *Sad
2) I have Ubuntu on dual boot and the bluetooth works fine
3) There was a lenovo tool for enabling wifi/bluetooth/etc.. and i turned on bluetooth via that but nothing happens. I tried to add bluetooth devices, check device manager, but nothing changed

I'll try to see if i can do something in the bios. This was driver i tried to install in step (1)

Thank you again for the suggestions

edit: Couldn't find anything in the BIOS either. Is there a way to "repair windows 10" while maintaining my dual boot?

Bluetooth services and device manager

Hi Tina,

Having an incompatible driver causes functionality issues like what you are experiencing right now with your Bluetooth. To resolve such issue, we suggest that you uninstall and reinstall your Bluetooth drivers manually instead of letting Windows search for
an updated driver automatically. Here are the steps to do that:

• Visit your device manufacturer’s website to download the latest driver.
  
• Right-click on the Start button, then select Device Manager.
• Select Bluetooth, then the Bluetooth driver
  name.
• Right-click on driver and then select Uninstall device >Delete the driver software for this device check box >
  Uninstall.
• After uninstalling, right-click the driver that's having the issue, select
  Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software.
• Select Browse > look for the drivers you've just downloaded >
  OK.
• Select Next > follow the steps to install the driver >
  Close.
• Restart your computer.
