Windows 10: Windows 10 Bluetooth On/Off Slider missing

So, it happened again. The Bluetooth On/Off Slider magically vanished again after the latest Windows10 update got applied. Whats the ETA for a fix this time? Do i have to wait three months again to get this fixed?


Dont bother mentioning the "solutions" you can find when googling this issue - believe me, i've tried all of them in the last 6 months and none work.


Yes, BT services got started and restarted several times.


Yes, i tried out the bloatware aka driver software from the usb-dongle manufacturer (460 MEGABYTE LOL ARE YOU KIDDING ME).


Yes, i tried out the troubleshooter.


Please give me something that could actually work., its 3am in the morning here and im close to losing it.

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

• Support A2DP for Wireless Stereo Music Playback

Edit: This is a dongle with old BT version I see now, but I'm sure you can find a Asus BT4.0 version.

Edit2:

@aasim1111 I have this one, it doesn't show that it supports A2DP in the specs but I think it'll work, otherwise send a mail to Asus and ask.
