    Hi,

    I will certainly help you to find Bluetooth.

    Kindly answer the question to assist you further:

    What is the make and model of your computer?

    Kindly refer the steps below to check for the airplane mode:

    • Press Windows key + I form keyboard to open setting.
    • Go to network and internet.
    • Click on Airplane mode and select turn off.
    Please refer the following steps to find Bluetooth:

    • Select Start > Settings > Devices >
      Bluetooth.
    • Select More Bluetooth options to find more Bluetooth settings.

    Bluetooth will not turn on

    Hi I have a brand new Dell PC with Windows 10, Bluetooth was working fine for the first few days but it seems following an upgrade it is now not working. I've followed steps to check the latest drivers are installed for Bluetooth and for the specific device
    I'm trying to connect to, but still when I go into Device Manager, Bluetooth, it says Bluetooth is not turned on - when I click 'add Bluetooth or other device' it tries and says 'Bluetooth couldn't connect' and sends me back around the same suggestions to
    check the latest drivers are installed etc.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks.

    Cannot connect bluetooth and I can't find option to turn it on

    Bluetooth is turned on, but I don't have a Bluetooth device

    Firstly, I have to say this is more an annoyance / bug rather than something being broken or not working.

    In my Action Center the Bluetooth Square is blue (turned on) saying Not Connected.

    Here's the thing though - My PC doesn't have any Bluetooth capable hardware components. It's not a laptop, the motherboard doesn't have this functionality, and no devices connected to it have Bluetooth features either.

    I've researched online and most suggestions revolve around

    • turning Bluetooth off - I can't do as there is no on/off switch in the settings
    • removing the Bluetooth device from device manager - I also can't do, as there isn't a Bluetooth device listed there.
    • going into network settings and disabling it there - I can't disable it from network settings as there is no network adapter to do so.
    • Unpin Bluetooth tile from Quick Actions - It isn't in the quick actions list to add/remove
