    Bluetooth icon disappeared while playing a game and I can't get it back


    While using Bluetooth to connect an Xbox controller to my computer it suddenly stopped working. When I tried to reenable Bluetooth I found that the icon for it is gone and when I go into Bluetooth settings there is no button for turning it on. I have tried updating the driver, uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, and multiple other things and none of them worked.

    :)

    No bluetooth after system restore

    Thank you for your reply.

    I mean I have used a Windows system restore point. I tried restoring bluetooth with commands in CMD (sfc/scannow; DISM /Online.....) and by updating and uninstalling devices in the device manager. Update did not work. Uninstalling bluetooth devices made Bluetooth disappear out of the hidden devices list.
    All my steps I took worked but did not change anything in my bluetooth device list.

    I am using the bluetooth of my mainboard. MSI Z370M Gaming Pro AC
    My guess would be, that disabling the bluetooth network adapter before using a system restore point, disabled Bluetooth after using the system restore point.

    In the device manager I get this message in the USB Device list for a unknown USB Device:
    Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

    part of the toolbar disappears while playing games

    I have the anniversary update for Win 10. Now when I play certain games part of the toolbar disappears, returns & disappears until the game is done then the toolbar is back. The top of the screen flipping back & forth during agame is most annoying.
    Any suggestions on how to stop this.
