Bluetooth doesnt even show up in my device manager. I just inctalled a Wifi/ BT pci card and updated all drivers but it is nonexistant and ive found no options to get it to work. even yousing a USB wifi/ BT adapter it doesnt show up.

FOR REAL

[@Buchi568]

I’m searching bruh

[@hunterkillertwo8294]

bros! there is a much easier way,.. use COLD RESET... long press the power icon for 10 seconds until it shutdown then unplug your PC and if your using a LAPTOP remove the battery and wait for 50 seconds..and Lastly, turn it back on..and check fro the BLUETOOTH icon.. i've tried all methods shown in all other videos here in youtube but nothing happened. for some people this might work and some may not but it's worth trying.. im just glad that i discovered this method and now sharing it to all of you,.. take care now :)

[@milemorales2764]

Thanks bro!! It worked ❤️

[@rajeevnaik3877]

Dude, you're a genius. Worked like magic when everything else failed .

[@independentthinker1629]

Thank you for this brilliant yet much simpler fix, it worked wonderfully for me. So, I will share the details of my FIX: 1. While laptop is running, Press Power button for 10 sec (I did 15 sec for good measure) … computer shutoff in couple seconds but I kept pressing for total about 15 seconds 2. Disconnected the power cord from laptop 3. I did not remove my laptop battery (since it is deep inside my laptop) 4. Waited a minute or so 5. Plugged back the power cord to my laptop 6. Pressed power button to start laptop 7. While booting, the laptop complained something like “pc was not shutoff correctly” and asked me to select either “Restart” or “Advanced troubleshooting” (something to that effect); I choose “Restart” 8. Laptop restarted normally as it always does (phew!) 9. Now I could see the Bluetooth icon, and my BT devices started working again and life is good! Finally, thank you again to this channel and specially to Hunter Killer Two ... people helping people brings world peace!

I used to have bluetooth on my PC, now no icon anywhere, nothing you can add to action centre, no bluetooth button on settings, no more bluetooth options available either. No other options worked..

[@kiaraegoober]

the problem im actually having is that when I run the Bluetooth troubleshooter it keeps telling me that the "Bluetooth radio status is not fixed" and that I need to somehow check it but I don't know what it wants me to do. and this is actually the second time it's happened too! last time I was able to somehow fix it by hard restarting my laptop by pressing the on/off button instead of the on-screen one, but I've restarted my laptop multiple times and it hasn't fixed it at all :(

[@kevinsjournal]

After years my Bluetooth suddenly just disappeared one day for no reason, couldn't even turn on/off, since it physically wasn't there. Looked everywhere, your video was the only resource that finally actually worked!! Thanks for laying everything out, fix 6 did it for me!! My laptop keyboard was damaged about a year ago, so I had to buy a Mini Portable Bluetooth keyboard, hence being stripped of Bluetooth, meant being stripped of the ability to properly type. I'm now typing this message on my keyboard that's finally connected through Bluetooth, smashed the like button, subscribed, and wish could treat you too drinks as a huge thanks so much for helping all of us!!! 🤗⌨🍹

The icons disappear from everywhere, toubleshooting says my system is not compatible, reinstalling the ASUS drivers did nothing, and in device manager the only thing on the bluetooth dropdown is "Microsoft Bluetooth LE Enumerator" and properties shows nothing. Windows 10 just gets on my nerves at this point, and I'd seriously downgrade back to 7 if I could... Incredibly annoying

Bluetooth symbol on device manager was missing. I tried all the ones shown in the video did not work, restarted dozens of times, watched dozens of other videos, read articles on forums, but no method worked. After everything, while looking desperately at the device manager screen with blank eyes, I saw the text "unknown device". He was always there .. I didn't know what it was. I first disabled it and then I enabled it. the problem was solved in an unexpected way. Maybe it will work for you too
