Windows 10: Bluetooth fails to connect since its missing

Today I want to connect my Bluetooth to my laptop however I dont have options in setting at all. I checked on the device manager to see Bluetooth driver and update it, but no help so I tried to uninstall the Bluetooth and restart the computer but still cant connect since its missing on the settings. If somebody can explain to me what can I do please.

Restoring a missing driver (Bluetooth in my case)

I'm running Windows 10 Version 20H2, Build 19042.985. l've accidentally lost one of the Bluetooth drivers while trying to connect to my headphones, There are many posts about the "Bluetooth failed to connect" problem and many suggested remedies, most of which require uninstalling or deactivating a Bluetooth device.
In Device Manager, if you click on the Bluetooth device, you're supposed to see five subdevices: Bluetooth Device, Intel Wireless, Broadcomm, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator. and Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator. Most of the suggested remedies for the did-not-connect problem require disabling or uninstalling a one of these devices and restarting.

In my flailing around for a solution to my problem, I tried a third alternative which apparently exists only for the Broadcomm device: deleting the driver. After doing that and restarting, I had not gotten a connection, but the third subdevice, the Broadcomm one, had vanished, I had also lost several other devices that had shown up previously. Restarting ordinarily restores missing components, but in this case it did not. Try as I might, I could not get the Broadcomm device to come back. Rebooting did not help.

So where can I find the missing driver, and how can I reinstall it?

 

Bluetooth fails to connect anything

My long drawn out and failed struggle to get YourPhone to connect my phone to my PC has revealed the underlying problem: Bluetooth is not working at all, on my PC. It probably has not worked for many months. I cannot connect anything. In addition to the phone I have tried two keyboards, a Samsung tablet, earbuds ---- no success at all. Plus I found that everywhere Bluetooth is shown on the PC it reported as not available, not connected, not enabled, off, stopped --- in Action Centre, in Settings, Services, Network Connections. I have read lengthy articles on this website and elsewhere but am no wiser. So now I am looking for advice with getting BT back, it has worked OK in the past. I have tried many things so far, using trial and error, so some fixes can probably be eliminated.

I have checked all the Bluetooth drivers which are 'the best available'. I found in Services that Bluetooth Support and Bluetooth User Support are most of the time shown as stopped. I have found how to switch them to Automatic but they then appear as either Automatic (Trigger Start) or Manual (Trigger Start) or revert to stopped, so I presume something needs to be done here? In Control Panel Network Connections Bluetooth / Change Adapter Settings / Bluetooth Network is shown as not connected and I have not found how to change it. In Settings I managed to get the phone paired by doing it from the phone itself but it still does not connect. Sometimes a popup request on the phone asks for a code number which should be shown in the phone but usually it isn't, or on occasion if it is it is rejected. None of the other Bluetooth devices are listed in Settings. It is all utterly confusing so I hope someone can make sense of it.
