Windows 10: Bluetooth Has Stopped Working

Bluetooth had worked fine since I got my laptop in January until today. It no longer comes up in the action center and there is no option to turn it on in control panel. In device manager there isn't a Bluetooth option. Troubleshooting hasn't worked and I have no clue how to fix this.


Any suggestions or input is appreciated.

Bluetooth speaker doesn't work

Hi,

It's really odd that your Bluetooth speaker stopped working with your computer, while it works fine with your other devices. We suggest that you remove your device from the paired list on your computer, and pair it again. You may also check this

steps for your concern on the list of questions in the article.

We're looking forward to your feedback.

 

Can't get Bluetooth working...

If your sure that its recognised properly then have a look on this links page http://www.holtmann.org/linux/bluetooth/

The only thing i can think of to fix if it isnt recognised by linux is the following:

Firstly you have to find out what chipset your bluetooth dongle uses.
Secondly i think your going to have to basically compile your own kernel and include the module for the chipset that your bluetooth dongle uses.
Thirdly depending on if you add it to the kernel or as like built in you will have to add the name of the module to a config file which is used when you boot linux.

If the kernel doesnt have support for your bluetooth dongle then you can either try and find a different copy of the kernel which does or try and find the driver for it.

To recompile your own kernel however requires a whole guide itself , plus different linux distro's will have different kernels with different options and slightly different config files.

Only thing i can suggest is going to www.gentoo.org and reading through their handbook, its basically step by step setting up linux manually, in the handbook there is a page or two on recompiling your kernel for your particular configuration.

Hi,

I would suggest you to follow the below steps.

Method 1:

• Use Windows shortcut keys Win + R to open the Run.
  
• Type services.msc and press the Enter.
  
• Double-click the Bluetooth Support service.
  
• Click the Start button if it is stopped
  
• Select the Automatic from the Startup type list.
  
• Go to the Log On tab.
  
• Tick the Local System account.
  
• Click OK.
  
• Reboot the computer.
  

Method 2:

• Open Device Manager.
  
• When Device Manager opens, locate your Bluetooth keyboard and double-click it.
  
• When Properties window opens, navigate to Power Management and uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.
  
• Now click on OK to save changes.
  
  
  

Hope it helps.
