Windows 10: Intel Wireless Bluetooth flickering on and off

I'm having issues with my Bluetooth flickering on and off, below are some gifs of the taskbar and device manager to illustrate what I am saying;

I have updated windows to the latest version and have also installed all the latest intel bluetooth drivers and the issue still persists. I have also reinstalled windows (twice), with no luck in fixing the issue either.


Any help in fixing this will be greatly appreciated

Intel Wireless Bluetooth Driver Error

That is why I suggested downloading the drivers before you go offline.

Yes, the Intel Wireless Bluetooth if that is your device.

 

Intel Wireless Bluetooth not working

Hi,

Thank you for sharing all the steps you have performed in order to fix the concern with Bluetooth driver.

This issue may have been caused by some changes made in your computer. We'd like to know if you recently install any updates before the issue started and have you also tried rolling back the driver instead of using the latest driver? You may checked this

for the available Intel Wireless Bluetooth driver versions for Windows 10.

We are looking forward to your response.

 

Bluetooth Failure: Intel Wireless Bluetooth continueously refreshes Device Manager and Bluetooth not on/enabled

After a BSOD (MEMORY_MANAGEMENT), Bluetooth no longer functions. I have a

HP 15-bs132nr running Windows 10 Home that has recently been RMA'd for a WD hard drive crash,
but this seems to be unrelated as I received it approximately a month ago with no issues (this is the first BSOD it has had.)

Some of the symptoms are as follows:

• Intel Wireless Bluetooth continuously refreshes (flashes) the Device Manager dialog. When disabled, the updates to the window stop.
• Action Center no longer displays the Bluetooth Quick Action, and it no longer exists in settings.

It could be a hardware problem, but I'm hoping that it's a software issue so I don't have to RMA it again. It has sat motionless for over half the time.

Steps taken to attempt to alleviate the problem (in order):

1. Restart.
2. Driver update (generic driver from Intel).
3. Complete removal of the device and software (as recommended
   here), and reinstallation. The laptop contains an
   Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168.
