Windows 10: Bluetooth Has Become Unavailable On Laptop

My laptop running Windows 10 seems to have completely lost Bluetooth functionality. After noticing that several of my Bluetooth devices weren't connecting wireless earbuds and an Xbox 1 controller that I had been using with it the day prior, I found in the settings that the switch to enable Bluetooth was missing. I went through numerous solutions to this, as it seems many people have had similar problems, including disabling and re-enabling Bluetooth drivers, reinstalling them, and checking Services to make sure Bluetooth was running, none of which solved the issue. In fact, upon uninstalling my Bluetooth drivers, reinstalling, and restarting the computer, they were missing entirely from the Device Manager. Out of desperation I ran the Bluetooth troubleshooter, which returned the message "Device does not have Bluetooth", that Bluetooth was not available on the device and that an adapter was necessary to give it Bluetooth capability, obviously not the case as I had been using Bluetooth on it many times in the months prior to this. Is there anything I'm missing? Could this be a hardware issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any bluetooth devices but windows turned it on!!


Then if they are still on, try some of these steps listed below, Not all of these steps may not apply, but, step #2 and #4 should help. I have all 4 steps on myself.

1 Go to Device manager and DISABLE Bluetooth, Do Not remove!
2 Turn USB suspend off
3 Set Hard Drive or SSD to Never
4 Turn Link State Power Management off
Settings 2 thur 4 can be found in your Power Management Settings.
Then click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
Then Reboot your Computer. This does work, may come back if you shut OFF your computer,then turn it back on, if it does, just a reboot will turn it off again.
