Windows 10: Drivers Corrupted

Okay, that worked.
So for future reference:
Use the wizard to completely uninstall drivers. Forget about repair. Then you have to reboot, then re-install. You will have to reboot again and re-pair (reconnect) your devices.
It's a pain, but it worked.

 

My Bluetooth is no longer working and my computer says all my devices have no drivers. When I went to install updates it says I already have the correct drivers.
So I suspect the drivers have been corrupted.
I need to uninstall and reinstall drivers, and I can't remember how, though I'm certain I've done this before. It was a while ago.
If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.

:)

Since this is a Dell, go to Dells driver support page and input your service tag number. Then I would download all your drivers to a USB drive and install as needed. Keeping the USB drive safely stored some where.

Do I have to uninstall the drivers to reinstall?

 

Okay, I downloaded the drivers and used the wizard on the repair function. It's supposed to uninstall and reinstall. The install was unsuccessful. I tried it twice. both times it said it was unsuccessful but the installer got stuck trying to install and I had to use the task manager to stop it.

I'm going to try to use the uninstall function and if it works try to reinstall.
