Windows 10: Intel Bluetooth Disconnecting Loop - Missing Toggle On/Off switch - Cannot Connect to...

Hi, I have a Windows 10 PC and I'm having an issue with the 'Intel Wireless Bluetooth' device consistently, repetitiously disconnecting every 2 seconds, making that annoying disconnect sound over and over and over only for it to reappear again over and over.


When I go into Bluetooth settings and try to add a device, I get an error that Bluetooth is turned off. However in the Bluetooth settings window, there is no toggle On/Off switch despite it being there before this started occuring.


When going into Device Manager, I've tried:

-Uninstalling and Reinstalling the drivers to no avail

-Uninstalling the device entirely. Upon restart I would continue to hear the disconnect loop on the login screen.

-Using the troubleshooter simply led to a page saying that it couldn't automatically be resolved.


Beyond this, I've tried:
-Manually reinstalling the driver

-Turning the entire PC off and on again

-Disabling and re-enabling the device in device manager

-Resetting my PC to it's factory default with a fresh install of windows.


And yet it still does this. Could the hardware be corrupted somehow?

It haunts me.

Please help.

Any information you need, let me know. I just want to use my wireless keyboard again. I just want this madness to end.

:)

 

Bluetooth is turned off and the toggle switch is missing

I installed Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse yesterday. It worked fine as soon as I connected it. Less than 24 hours later bluetooth has stopped working altogether.

• In the control panel the bluetooth screen shows the mouse but it says bluetooth is turned off.
  
• The toggle switch to turn bluetooth back on is missing.
• I have updated the bluetooth drivers but this hasn't helped.
• I looked in Device Manager but I couldn't see bluetooth in the network settings. I'm not sure I was looking in the right place. I was following advice from some web site.

I've searched the MS help forums and it seems the problem of the dissapearing toggle switch was known about in 2015. Why hasn't this been fixed yet? We've just had two major updates. We are told, "Windows is a service." What are we paying for when you can't
fix a known problem like this? I understand that Microsoft relies on other users to answer these questions but I've seen Microsoft moderators on here. Please answer my question about the apparent lack of a fix for this problem.

Hello, I own a Bluetooth Bose headset, and when I disconnected it today and tried to re-connect it, My PC Didn't recognise the device. When I went to Bluetooth settings, The switch to toggle Bluetooth disappeared, and when I try to re-connect my device,
Under it it says 'Bluetooth is turned off'. I tried a everything I could to try re-connect it, But nothing works.

I'm on windows 10, If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

 

Bluetooth toggle missing in settings.

Hi Greg,

I worked through your suggestions and still have no Bluetooth toggle in the windows settings.

Still can't pair my Logitech keyboard.

I am running the Creators update which was installed at 22/11/2017 and was only unable to connect with bluetooth a few days ago so it cant be that update.

Also I completed a system restore and no change, No toggle and no connectivity to my bluetooth keyboard.

I find most times you always learn heaps by troubleshooting problems but you have to decide at some point when to stop and switch to an alternative.

So I am going to wait for a week (or when I have a few dollars) and purchase a Bluetooth Adapter.

Many thanks again for your time and help.
