Windows 10: Bluetooth disappeared both in device manager and bottom right pop up box

I'm in Windows 11 and often times, the bluetooth button just disappears completely from the pop up box the one that usually shows the airplane mode, accessibility, battery saver, and the bluetooth buttons and I can't turn it on anymore.I've looked through other questions within the website related to my problem, I tried to do the most common fix for this issue which is setting the bluetooth support device to automatic and it didn't work.I've checked the device manager and turned on "show hidden devices" to see bluetooth and even tried to scan it for hardware changes, but it yielded no res

Hi,



Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern regarding the issue that you are facing.

Method 1: Troubleshoot

Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your Drive. Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
• Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter

You may follow the steps and check if it helps in resolving the issue, as the device might be hidden.

• Press Windows key + X.

• Click on View.
• Click on Show Hidden Devices.
• Search for the Bluetooth device.
• Right click on the Bluetooth device and click
  uninstall.

Bluetooth disappeared from Device Manager

I have the same problem as Benjamin with an Acer Aspire Switch 10. Was working fine with Bluetooth speaker. Now all trace of Bluetooth has disappeared from Device Manager. The Bluetooth troubleshooter tells me my tablet is not compatible with bluetooth!
I have tried re-installing the Broadcom Bluetooth Driver from the Acer site but to no avail and tried most of the other suggestions including windows update listed in Benjamin's post.

Appreciate any help

Deleted all of Bluetooth in Device Manager

Those should have been the drivers for the model you listed.
Open device manager and see if they are there.
As for turning on go to the notifications box (Far right on the task bar) click on the bluetooth symbol.



If not there, right click choose edit and add it
