Windows 10: Where did my Bluetooth toggle go?

I own a Dell desktop pc running windows 10. It has Bluetooth, i use it daily, so I know this. Earlier today, however, I was trying to connect a Bluetooth device to my laptop, but it was connected to my desktop already. I opened settings > devices > Bluetooth & other devices, and turned the toggle switch for Bluetooth into the off position.When I went to turn it back on, the toggle was gone. This computer has no internet connection. Nothing has been updated or changed since last time I used Bluetooth with it, and I haven't even touched it since turning the Bluetooth off, yet the togg

I have lost my Bluetooth On/Off Toggle Switch


Lost my On/Off Toggle for Bluetooth

Last year whilst I was on 8.1 before my upgrade to Windows 10, I noticed that the On/Off Toggle had disappeared – see screenshot (taken when it was on 8.1).

Now I am on Windows 10 the toggle still has not reappeared.

I definitely had the On/Off option, but I think it disappeared after a routine Windows 8.1 update last year, but I cannot be sure.

Some people suggested that I should delete all the Bluetooth software on my computer, then reboot and the software will be reinstalled correctly. I have not done this because of the fear that once deleted the software to gone forever. I dont have copies of this software and it seems logical that if I delete it, then its gone.

I am using Dell Wireless 1705 Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator, Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator - see Device Manager Screenshot. To turn off I now have to go into Device Manager and disable it.

My Driver is Qualcomm Atheros Communications, ver 10.0.1.1 dated 28-07-2015

I can Disable/Enable the driver, but still no toggle otherwise the Bluetooth works fine.

Any suggestions.

 

Bluetooth on/off toggle button Windows 10

I have owned this machine for 2 and 1\2 weeks. As soon as I unboxed and connected it to the web I did the free windows 10 "upgrade" Had I known the issues with Bluetooth on this operating system I would have NEVER done the upgrade. I am using Bluetooth a lot
for my music. It has been nothing but a P I T A! The unit remains connected on Bluetooth and I cannot use the speakers. I must "remove" the Bluetooth device (my Yamaha V receiver) from the devices connected menu every time I want to get away from my HiFi.
The on\off toggle would be GREAT for this.....but it does not exist. I did what you suggested and it solved nothing. Again, I am a true "rookie"

 

Bluetooth toggle shortcut?


Also looking for this, there really should be an option to toggle it in the menu when right clicking the bluetooth icon in the task bar. I found this but haven't tried it yet.

How can I toggle Bluetooth on and off via a shortcut or script in Windows 8.1? - Super User
