Windows 10: My Bluetooth Icon is gone from my Drivers and devices

My Bluetooth was like removed and I don't understand how or why because I didn't do it, the main overview of my problem is that Bluetooth seems to have been removed from my drivers completely and yes my computer does have a Bluetooth component because it says I can turn it on and off from the quick actions HOWEVER it is not there and its not in the add section either for the tab. I'm freaking out because I've been doing my best to look for solution's but the feedback center is dead and unhelpful and every other solution requires me to find the Bluetooth icon in the drivers, and the ICON DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE SO I CAN'T REINSTALL IT!


I'm really losing hope here and its breaking me down that I can't find anything and I seem to be alone no matter where I go for help...

but im gonna do my best not to give up because I've come this far and I don't intend to leave empty handed.

bluetooth icon gone

Hi Senior,

To help resolve your concern, kindly check the Device Manager to make sure you have the latest Bluetooth drivers installed.

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, select it from the list of results, and then expand
  Bluetooth in Device Manager.
• Press and hold (or right-click) the Bluetooth radio, then select
  Update Driver Software > Search automatically for updated driver software.

Also, Bluetooth might not appear in Device Manager if the existing Bluetooth driver isn’t compatible with Windows 10. Follow these steps to find a compatible driver:

• In the search box on the taskbar, type Device Manager, select it from the list of results, and then expand
  Other devices in Device Manager.
• Select the unknown device, right click it, and then select Properties.
• Select the Details tab, and then select Hardware Ids from the
  Property list.
  Look for the hardware ID for the Bluetooth radio. The hardware ID typically looks like this, where
  {ID} is a series of numbers and/or letters: USB\VID_{ID}&PID_{ID}
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Right click the hardware ID, and then select Copy.
• Search on the web for the hardware ID you copied to try find the name of the Bluetooth radio manufacturer. After that, visit the Bluetooth hardware or your PC manufacturer’s website to download a Bluetooth driver that’s compatible with Windows 10.

If Windows doesn't find a new driver, look for one on the device manufacturer's website and follow their instructions.
