No button for bluetooth in action center


Joe,

Assuming that you have a Bluetooth card, run these checks -

Do you have a Bluetooth entry in Settings, Devices?



If not then Windows does not think you have a Bluetooth card. Check Device manager for a Bluetooth group.

1. If neither of these is there then you do not have a Bluetooth card or you have disabled Bluetooth in the BIOS. You should check your BIOS for a relevant entry but BIOSes vary so I cannot suggest where such a setting might be. You could seek advice from your computer maker or their user forum.
2. If one is there but not the other then you might be able to get it working correctly by reinstalling the driver from your Computer / Bluetooth card maker's website.

You can customise the items shown in Action center but Bluetooth, if it is enabled, is generally put there by default. As explained above, you can customise what is shown by playing around with Settings, System, Notifications. You can add more entries or you can drag off existing entries or you can drag existing entries around to get them in the layout you prefer.

I don't have any bluetooth devices but windows turned it on!!

1. I have no bluetooth devices in devices manager.
2,3,4. they all turned off before.

reboot or shutdown doesn't solved it.
i have USB wireless Mouse/Keyborad. i plug it out and use PS/2 but nothing.
i used DISM to repair image.

i tried everything but its not make any changes and windows still showing Bluetooth turned on.
a few days ago it was not even showing Bluetooth in Action Center but i don't understand what happened, no devices added or changed in my PC, no software Installed or Uninstalled, not a single Settings Changed in Windows or BIOS!!!

 

Bluetooth toggle disappeared from Settings

This has happened a few months back, but can't remember how I fixed it before. Here is my sob story:

Before lunch, I was using the Macally Bluetooth Keyboard w/Notes++

After lunch, the keyboard was no longer connected.

Opened Settings

1. Bluetooth window: I saw the toggle was there! I didn't click on it because it disappeared on me last time after clicking on it. So I did NOT click on it again. But after clicking on the Macally device, the toggle disappeared anyway.
2. removed keyboard from devices
3. adding a device option was un-responsive
   

Googled the issue: WOW... wish I had a dime for each complaint I saw!

This is pretty much everything I found to try:

Control Panel:

1. clicked on Add a device
2. it would not show up
   
3. turned keyboard on/off
4. changed batteries

Support service:

1. rt-clicked start
2. rt-clicked properties: then set startup to automatic
3. clicked on "Apply"
   
4. restarted computer

Device manager:

1. went through every drop-down for every item that had the word "bluetooth" on it
2. rt-clicked each one to check for updates (everything was up to date)

Settings:

1. Windows 10, checked for updates:
2. downloaded and restarted computer

Settings:

1. Update & Security: Troubleshoot Bluetooth
2. this is the detailed information from that:
   
   Device does not have bluetooth
   
   Bluetooth is not available on this device. Please try using an external adapter to add bluetooth capability to the computer.
   
   Problems found:
   
   Check Bluetooth capability Detected [yellow triangle with!]
   
   No Bluetooth Completed

Searching Apps & Features:

1. Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth is dated: 11/26/2017
2. Went to their website.
3. Downloaded and performed their wizard
4. Driver Scan report was up to date
   

Acer Website:

1. Qualcomm Atheros WLAN and Bluetooth Client Install
   
2. Downloaded and installed through wizard.
3. Restarted computer

What I did not do:

Update Chipset because according to Acer, mine is up to date

Time Lady (on this forum) said to uninstall KB 4074588, but

is supposed to be fixed with the current update.
