Windows 10: Uninstalled bluetooth network adapter

Hello,


I was trying to fix my machine after it told me that I no longer had any Bluetooth services and I uninstalled the bluetooth under network adapters. When I rebooted, it was still gone, even after scanning for hardware changes. I have tried to install a new driver from intel, but that has not proven effective. What can I try besides ordering a bluetooth adapter online?

Wifi/Bluetooth adapter issues/ maybe virus

Hi Nath,

Try re-enabling your third-party anitivirus and do a full system scan. Once done, and if Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is still not working, try to uninstall and reinstall both drivers. Follow these steps:

1. Right-click on Start menu button, and select Device Manager.
2. Expand Network adapter section, right-click on your Wi-Fi driver and select
   Uninstall device.
3. Repeat the steps for Bluetooth driver.
4. Restart your computer.

Both drivers should reload fine after the restart. If it doesn't, I suggest manually downloading and installing the latest wireless network adapter and Bluetooth driver from your computer manufacturer website.

If you need further help, let me know by posting back. I will get back to you as soon as I can.
