Windows 10: Unable to reinstall Bluetooth after uninstalling

This is my first time making a post and it is my last-ditch effort to try and resolve the issue on my own instead of having to bring my entire PC to a repair shop. So what happened is this: I have not used Bluetooth on my PC for quite a long time, and my PC is a custom one I built myself quite recently within a year.I remember my Bluetooth working initially when I tested it with a Bluetooth speaker, but after that, I've been using wired speakers and never really used my PC's Bluetooth function.

Bluetooth disappeared after Sleep - can't Uninstall and Reinstall

Today the Bluetooth stopped working on my Win10 laptop after it went to sleep due to low battery.
When I searched for Bluetooth settings - I couldn't find it anywhere - as if my laptop never had Bluetooth!

I searched online - and found that it's a relatively common problem with Win8 and Win10! After following the instructions from Microsoft support threads (such as set service automatic etc.) it didn't resolve the problem.

One suggestion was to uninstall the device from device manager and restart - then it would search for hardware changes and install the basic driver automatically - but when I uninstalled the device and restarted - it doesn't seem to the find the Intel Bluetooth hardware anymore! I have done 'search for hardware changes' but it doesn't help either.

Also, I am unable to uninstall the existing Bluetooth software from 'Add Remove Program' or install the driver software I downloaded from Intel's driver page.

Would really appreciate if anyone can help to fix this issue.

Here are some screenshots for your reference:

Bluetooth vanished thoroughly from Windows 10!





After uninstalling and restarting Bluetooth doesn't re-appear - even after 'search for hardware changes'



Can't uninstall Bluetooth from Add-remove Programs




Can't install the Bluetooth driver downloaded from Intel website it stops prematurely



This problem is very similar to this, but I don't have creator's update - so I don't have Fix Bluetooth option:

 

Bluetooth is not working — troubleshoot claims I don't even have it

I have done all the following steps:

- installed bluetooth driver from manufacturer
- hit windows update
- updated / uninstalled bluetooth items listed in Device Manager and restarted the PC
- updated / uninstalled USB drivers listed in Device Manager and restarted the PC (USB drivers automatically came back but not bluetooth)
- turned on and restarted all bluetooth support in services.msc
- conducted bluetooth troubleshooting
- conducted hardware troubleshooting

 

Cannot Uninstall Bluetooth Device

A Bluetooth Headset which was effective - would not connect.

I used the trouble shooter and had a message about reinstalling a driver.

I have uninstalled but sill cannot get the Bluetooth device to uninstall or connect.

Advice needed please.



It is the audio device marked H2 that cannort be removed.

I am not sure what to do next about the Intel driver that has been deleted from the device list - I did not emove the software
