Windows 10: Win10 1909 broke bluetooth

After an upgrade from Windows 10 1903 to 1909, my bluetooth is broken. When enabled, my PC beeps constantly and the Device Manager flashes like it is adding hardware. If I disabled BT in Device Manager, the beeping stops. In Win10 Settings, there is no option to turn BT on/off.


I updated the drivers for my Intel Wireless Bluetooth to 20.100.6.3 (6/18/2019) and for my Intel Dual band Wireless-AC 3168 to 19.51.25.1 (9/2/2019) to no avail. Hard and soft reboots galore, no joy.


Here is my update history, but it doesn't show the 1909 update:

Windows 10 1909 Broke My Bluetooth

For others with an Intel Bluetooth driver, but the same issue described in OP, install the latest drivers from this location:

Download Intel® Wireless Bluetooth® for Windows® 10

1909 broke Bluetooth for me, but these drivers (21.50.0 version at current) fixed everything for me...

Good luck!

EDIT: also, MS please get your act together with regards to Bluetooth.

Since updates can only be delayed for so long, an actual fix would be appreciated.

 

Windows 10 1909 Broke My Bluetooth

I'm glad to help. If it was me and I didn't want to reinstall or wait for stable Version 1909 coming soon, I would buy a $10 bluetooth USB nano adapter like the one in the steps I gave you to use as a backup. Unless your BT adapter died, it should be reparable
or start working once you get to a stable version. I gave you everything possible to repair, collected over ten years daily in forums and thousands of cases.
