Windows 10: No Bluetooth Driver

Since the move to Windows 10 (from 7) I haven't been able to connect to my Bluetooth speaker. This worked for me under Windows 7. There is no bluetooth entry in the device manager.

I have a Dell Studio 1555. Both the WiFi and the Ethernet connection to the Internet are OK.

Help in finding a solution to this problem will be appreciated.

-------------------------------

The computer is a dual boot machine with Ubuntu. The bluetooth feature does work in Ubuntu.

nokia 5233 no bluetooth peripheral driver no where to be found

The required Bluetooth drivers for the PC Bluetooth hardware should come with Windows (for the most part, that's been the case since Windows XP Service Pack 2).



Nokia phone related drives have always come with the Nokia PC Suite, later also with the Ovi Suite (which I guess is now being renamed to Nokia Suite).



In the past, at least, Nokia has had a "PC Suite Cleaner" app available, that could help if you have PC Suite issues. Uninstall PC Suite or Ovi Suite, and reinstall the latest/newest version (with or without the "PC Suite Cleaner", if some version of it
is still available on Nokia's support/download pages here).



If that doesn't help, you need to come back with more details on what, exactly, is going wrong (what doesn't work, how, and what error messages do you see, etc.).

Dear Nokia Support,

Nokia 5230 my Windows 7 32 bit is not able to load the Bluetooth Peripheral Device driver. Unfortunately its not available on the automatic Microsoft Update too.I read the topics related the same problem on difference cell phones but none of the proposed solutions
can be applied.



Can Nokia answer please to this common problem ?

Regards

 

Is there a switch or key combination to switch on Bluetooth? Try that first. Maybe you have to download and install the Launcher application from manufacturer's web site to enable key combinations. Once you switch on the Bluetooth device, it should be detected and installed automatically by Windows. If not, download the Bluetooth software from the notebook's site.

 

My phone sees my bluetooth card. Its a

Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card.

The computer is not seeing this card in the device settings.

I guess the issue becomes one of finding the driver and installing it.

Comments, suggestions.

 

If you tried to enable Bluetooth from key combination or switch and didn't work, maybe you have to also update the chipset drivers. Do that, restart and it should be detected. Have a look in BIOS as well in onboard devices section to see if it is enabled. To enter BIOS press F2 (in most notebooks) when you switch it on, before loading Windows. You then navigate with the arrow keys and ENTER.
