Windows 10: Bluetooth driver uninstalled

Today I was using my airpods via bluetooth on my laptop. I left for about 20 minutes or something and I realised my airpods didn't connect. I went to my bluetooth setting and it displayed that my bluetooth was turned off. There was no turn on or of button displayed anywhere as it did before. I tried to search for fixes and I ended up uninstalling my bluetooth driver via device manager. I then restarted my laptop but no drivers were installed. I also tried to update my laptop but there were no updates available. I tried installing the drivers via intel and acer but I have had no succes.


At this point I am at a loss, is there anyone that has a possible fix.


I am currently using an Acer aspire A715-71G

Processor: IntelR CoreTM i7-7700HQ

Windows 10 pro

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused
