    Bluetooth stopped working and just disappeared.


    It was working on Thursday, then i went to use a bluetooth headset last night and it won't connect so i did some looking and there was no option to turn BT on or off. I checked Device Manager and it did have a yellow triangle so i let Windows update DL the driver but it didnt work so i uninstalled and installed the driver from Dells site twice after the second time and restarting nothing shows. Although i can turn wifi on and off.

    :)

    Hi Jenny,

    We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.


    • Did you checked whether the Bluetooth device is listed under hidden devices in Device manager?

    • Have you checked whether the Bluetooth driver is listed under installed programs under Programs and features? (As you have reinstalled the Bluetooth.)

    • Does the Bluetooth disappeared after you have started to use Wacom Bluetooth keyboard?
    Note:


    • In device manager, click on "view" tab and select "show hidden devices" and check whether Bluetooth device/driver is listed.

    • To check the drivers installed in Programs and features, Press
      Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select Programs and features and check whether the Bluetooth driver is installed.

      and start it

      set the startup type as Automatic.
    Step 2:

      Control Panel

      Control Panel.

    • Click on View all on the left navigation pane.

    • Click on Hardware and devices.

      dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).

    • Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the
      Hardware and devices troubleshooter.

    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.
