  1. Option to enable bluetooth disappears sometimes


    Sometime after starting the laptop the option to turn on bluetooth is missing. I need to restart the laptop and the bluetooth option appears again. I tried updating drivers but that also doesn't help.

  3. How do I enable Bluetooth with my Qualcomm Atheros adapter?

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run the Hardware and device troubleshooter and check. The Hardware Troubleshooter is an automated tool which checks the hardware on the computer for any known issues and provides the details on how to fix them. Follow these steps to run the troubleshooter.

    a) Press “Windows Logo” + “W” keys from the keyboard.

    b) Type “Troubleshooting” in the search bar and press “Enter”.

    c) In the “Troubleshooting” window, click on “View All” on the left pane.

    d) Click on “Hardware and Devices”.

    e) Click on “Advanced” and then click on “Run as Administrator”.

    f) Click “Next” and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the troubleshooting process.

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to check the status of Bluetooth service on the computer.

    Method 2:

    I suggest you to start the Bluetooth service and set it to Automatic:

    a. Go to the Start screen.

    b. Type “Services.msc” without quotes and press Enter.

    c. Right click on Bluetooth support service and click on Properties.

    d. Set the Startup type as Automatic and then click Start under Service status.

    e. Click on OK.

    If the issue persists you can try the following steps and check if it resolves the issue.

    Method 3:

    I suggest you to try the following steps.

    a. Open Control Panel by clicking the Windows + X,

    b. In the Control Panel search box, type Bluetooth, and then click Change Bluetooth settings.

    c. In theBluetooth Settings dialog box, click the Options tab and do any of the following:

    To make your computer discoverable to Bluetooth enabled devices, select the check box for Allow Bluetooth devices to find this computer.

    To allow you to add Bluetooth enabled devices to your computer, select the check box for Allow Bluetooth devices to connect to this computer.

    To be notified when a Bluetooth enabled device is trying to connect to your computer, select the check box for Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect.

    Method 4:

    If the issue still persists, I suggest you to uninstall the Bluetooth driver and install the latest driver on the computer.
