Windows 10: Bluetooth on my laptop is GONE!

Bluetooth on my laptop is GONE! It quit working & completely disappeared while in use. Why? And how can I get it back? My hand can't handle the on-screen keyboard much longer.

Bluetooth is gone

I'm not sure if this was because of a recent update, but I was using my bluetooth for audio in one moment and the next it wouldn't connect. Upon further inspection, it appears my Bluetooth is gone.

Symptoms: Running WIndows 10

• Bluetooth does not show up in device manager
• Troubleshooter tells me there is no Bluetooth capability on my laptop (there is and I use it frequently)
• It's as if it just disappeared from my laptop

I have tried:

• Making sure My Windows is up to date (it is)
• Installing drivers from the manufacturer's site
• sfc/scannow

I can't seem to get my laptop to realize it has Bluetooth no matter what I have tried so far. Does anyone have any voodoo I can try next?

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
