  1. How do I get Bluetooth back after anniversary update?


    I have a Dell Inspiron 3000 series laptop, about three months old, that just did the Windows 10 Anniversary update, and now it 'lost' the Bluetooth ability that it had from the factory. I went to Device Manager, and saw an unknown device. I right clicked on it, and it came up as Bluetooth, so I clicked on Update Driver. It searched the internet and found the driver, but when it tried to download it, I got an error message that said it was not compatible with my platform. What next? TIA

    Bluetooth disappeared after yesterday's Windows update.

    The anniversary update happened about 2 weeks ago. Almost everything still working ok, including Bluetooth mouse. After yesterday's update, there is no Bluetooth icon in the toolbar (like before). Looking in Devices, the Bluetooth mouse is there, but right
    click doesn't show anything. Going into Device management, there is no Bluetooth shown, so I can't update a driver for instance, as seen in another post.

    So how do I get it back?

    Thanks, Jan

  3. How do I get bluetooth back having uninstalled the version that did not work with windows 10

    Bluetooth is still not working though according to my computer it is back installed and 'working properly'......nor is ancestry.com......nor my YBS money manager. They all worked with windows 8.1 I am still not convinced that windows 10 was a good move this
    is the umpteenth problem.

    Not impressed!
