Update Broke My Bluetooth - No Bluetooth Device Available - Can't find bluetooth in Device Manager

After a random update from Windows to update my Edge browser. I completely lost my Bluetooth, my computer seemed convinced that it wasn't even compatible. I spent many hours searching for the answer and tried so many different steps. Then I found one very
simple solution on the pcrisk blog which solved it instantly! I can't confirm if prior steps helped, but given the consecutive nature of the steps - I'd recommend taking them haha.

The standard steps were the same as previous recommendations (none of which worked for me and seemingly for many others left in the dark) but the
7th step was the winner! So Simple,
let your computer drain all its battery then turn it back on.

1. Turn Bluetooth On
2. Re-enable Bluetooth Device
3. Update Bluetooth Driver
4. Run Windows Bluetooth Troubleshooter
5. Install Bluetooth Drivers In Compatibility Mode
6. Check The Bluetooth Support Service
7. Unplug Your Computer

Bluetooth Not Working - Can't Find In Device Manager - Windows 10"Bluetooth is not available on this device"

 

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
