Question

Bluetooth icon is not showing up in system tray/notification area.

Anonymous

Hi, I was moving my mouse to fast and accidentally deleted the Bluetooth icon from my taskbar. I am stuck trying to figure out how to restore it. According to "Select which icons appear on the toolbar" in settings, Bluetooth is set to on but the test also calls it windows explorer.

Any Ideas on how to fix this? I'm running windows 10 home.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

We understand you concern. We appreciate the time and effort that you have taken to work on the issue to get the Bluetooth icon on system tray/ notification area. We would suggest to you try following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1 : Check for the Bluetooth icon in system tray.

Go to Settings > Devices.
Click on Bluetooth and turn on the toggle switch on the right pane.
Then click on up-arrow of system tray icon and check.

If the Bluetooth icon is still missing, it is more likely that the system tray icon of Bluetooth has been disabled. Please proceed to Method 2 to enable the same.

Method 2: Enable system tray icon for Bluetooth.

Go to Settings > Devices.
Click on Bluetooth on the left pane.
Turn on the toggle switch for Bluetooth.
Then click on More Bluetooth options link.
Under Options tab, check the box for Show the Bluetooth icon in the notification area.
Then click on Apply > OK and check for the icon.
