Bluetooth Toggle Missing from settings

Hi, welcome to tenforums. Sorry to hear of your problem.

The forum prompted you to give your full Windows build number so we don't have to keep asking... thanks.

Please post screenshots similar to these:






I assume you mean the Bluetooth option in the first is missing, and the bluetooth tile is missing.

Example solved case (sounds similar): completely uninstall BT and reinstall:
Bluetooth on off switch missing.

Have a look at the driver in the Device Manager- has it just been updated (would be in Update History too - at the bottom).
Consider rolling the driver back: e.g.

Consider using the driver specified by your manufacturer rather than the one provided by Windows, as suggested here:
Bluetooth On Off toggle Missing From Settings In Windows 10 Pro

You can then prevent that driver being updated using the appropriate tutorial from the Tutorial section.

You have given no details of your PC unfortunately.

 

Bluetooth on/off toggle button Windows 10

hi;

after few further experimentation I am making changes in my above reply:

Step 1

switch on the wireless adapter on the keyboard similar to any of these on your keyboard.
don't switch on internet.



Step 2

open device manager as "run as administrator".

step 3

in device manger uninstall "generic Bluetooth adapter" under heading Bluetooth.

step 4:

restart the computer (don't switch off the computer; but use restart option)

on restart most probably u will find on/off toggle switch back; if not follow the above steps again for 2-3 times; it will pickup the on/off switch.

on restart you will find that the light of wireless adapter button on keyboard has turned red signalling that it is switched off.


but in fact it is half off; it has passed control to switch on/off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to screen taskbar Wi-Fi icon and in the notification bar where various buttons to control various action is shown.



from there u can switch on/off Bluetooth as well Wi-Fi.

Warning:

if u press the wireless button on keyboard when it was half off; it will go complete off and will also disable Wi-Fi as well Bluetooth in the above referred notification area.

now if u shut down or restart the computer; (when the keyboard wifi button is total off) then on start of pc the on/off Bluetooth toggle button will again disappear and u will have to repeat above steps again.

solution:

if by chance you switch off totally the Wi-Fi keyboard button then press it again to switch it
on. now if you restart or start after switch off, u will find that Wi-Fi button on keyboard again in half off stage and control passed to notification area as discussed above. in such case the on/off Bluetooth toggle button remains; and need
to repeat above steps won't arise.

it looks that above system is programmed by Microsoft considering that one would be using touchscreen and not keyboard.

hope Microsoft team would soon find out some permanent solution to this problem.

with regards

thanks

 

Bluetooth on/off toggle button Windows 10

I have owned this machine for 2 and 1\2 weeks. As soon as I unboxed and connected it to the web I did the free windows 10 "upgrade" Had I known the issues with Bluetooth on this operating system I would have NEVER done the upgrade. I am using Bluetooth a lot
for my music. It has been nothing but a P I T A! The unit remains connected on Bluetooth and I cannot use the speakers. I must "remove" the Bluetooth device (my Yamaha V receiver) from the devices connected menu every time I want to get away from my HiFi.
The on\off toggle would be GREAT for this.....but it does not exist. I did what you suggested and it solved nothing. Again, I am a true "rookie"
