The switch for Bluetooth disappeared. I uninstalled it in the device manager and scanned for hardware changes, but it didn't reinstall. I manually reinstalled the drivers from intel's website and it still won't show up. Under services there are three Bluetooth related items all running on automatic. When I run the Bluetooth trouble shooter it says my computer doesn't have Bluetooth. My computer says everything is up to date and so are the drivers.

In Start Search type in Services.msc and then hit Enter to open the Windows Services Manager.
Locate and right-click on each of the following services and click on Properties to check if the Startup Type is set to Automatic:
Bluetooth Handsfree Service.
Bluetooth Audio Gateway Service.
Bluetooth Support Service.
Bluetooth User Support Service.
Right-click on the services listed above and click on Properties.
Make sure that the Startup Type of all is set to Manual. Click Apply/ OK.
If device manager doesn’t show Bluetooth, go to BIOS interface to check if Bluetooth has been disabled.
If Bluetooth does exists, you need to contact manufacturer support for help.
