Help, please!

It was all working this afternoon but at some point the bluetooth has gone from my windows 10 laptop, have looked at setting, devices, tried bluetooth troubleshoot, searched on bing etc but I honestly cannot find where to turn my bluetooth back on again.ย  Its like its been wiped from the systems.ย  Did the troubleshooter and it says it has a driver problem but couldnt fix it.

Am I being a numpty.

Check windows updates maybe pending, they can cause items to disappear as they prepare a later driver in the background....

Have you rebooted it?

I had that problem previously.
Try & update the bluetooth driver in the device manager (I think).
If that does not work then remove the bluetooth driver & restart the machine - the driver will be reinstalled & the bluetooth button back where it should be.
Good luck.

Interesting. This happened to my Acer this week too. Even removing the device in Device Manager didn't work - it just wasn't detecting the hardware. I eventually fixed it by downloading the drivers from Acer.
