Windows 10: I have accidentally uninstalled all bluetooth drivers and now it has comepletly disappeared...

The subject title says it all. For some unknown reason, the bluetooth icon suddenly disappeared from the task bar and the bluetooth on/off switch has disappeared. So I decided to check the device manager to find out what's going on. Just like any "bluetooth missing" forum question from the internet, the bluetooth option can only be found on the hidden devices section. Apparently my dumb*ss thought I could just simply uninstall every driver and download another one from the internet. I was wrong. The blutooth section disappeared as soon as I uninstalled the last driver.Now there's no more bluetooth on the hidden devices. I tried installing intel bluetooth drivers but it won't show up on device manager. I tried the "scan hardware" thingy and troubleshoots but they don't work either. I tried to reset the pc via media creation but nothing changed. Do I really have reset my pc just do bring back the bluetooth driver? Help would be appreciated.

Accidentally uninstalled Bluetooth driver

Today my Bluetooth headphones suddenly stopped working. After I tried to troubleshoot myself, bluetooth is no longer appearing in the device manager. Here is what happened.



- My toggle button for Bluetooth in “Bluetooth and other devices” disappeared and all the devices said “Bluetooth is turned off”



- I began troubleshooting myself, tried restarting my computer (Dell Inspiron 3583), updating the drivers in device manager.



- Went to Dell’s website and downloaded the driver, ran it, and restarted my pc.



- While trying to fix the problem, I accidentally uninstalled my bluetooth driver (Qualcomm QCA9377) in device manager (right click, uninstall)



- Tried (windows key+R> services.msc> bluetooth support service > restart; bluetooth support service> properties> automatic >OK)



- Tried going through (Troubleshoot> bluetooth > Run the troubleshooter > Device does not have bluetooth> Check bluetooth capability detected)



- I reset my laptop (Dell Inspiron 3583) and kept the files, as a last resort to try to fix the problem and I still have no bluetooth in Device Manager (or bluetooth button). (After
resetting I went back and tried all the things I mentioned above again)



- I notice in device manager that under my USB tab, there is an “Unknown USB device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). But I do not know if that is the same issue. I also went in
and tried updating all my USB drivers (including that one).



I caught a screenshot of me uninstalling the bluetooth driver, right when I realized I was accidentally uninstalling it.







I would really appreciate your help!

thanks

 

How do you uninstall chipset drivers?

I'm installing a new mobo so I need to uninstall the intel 865g drivers to make way for the P35 drivers.

Can't find any uninstall options in add/remove programs and intel chipset inst listed in driver cleaner.

Any suggestions? *Confused

 

Accidentally uninstalled bluetooth

In an effort to repair my Bluetooth connection after updating Windows 10, I accidentally uninstalled Bluetooth. Now everything says the computer is not Bluetooth capable. I have already downloaded the manufacturer (HP) driver and tried to install, but
Bluetooth is uninstalled so the driver won't update. Is there a way to reinstall Bluetooth without having to reinstall Windows 10?
