Windows 10: My Bluetooth Disappeared from my computer

I went to connect my new xbox controller that I got for my PC that I use for gaming and for some reason it wouldn't connect to Bluetooth. And I went to check and turns out every trace of Bluetooth from my computer is gone. I went to services on my computer And I turned 2 of the 3 Bluetooth ones to automatic and the third one I couldn't because it said incorrect parameter. I checked device manager. It's not in there. I tried Trouble shooting it couldn't detect the bluetooth either And I reset in my computer like it told me And that didn't work And my windows is completely up-to-date. Somebody,
