Hello @SityanaGirum-5191

Thank you for posting this concern on this community space.

I was reading your case scenario issue and I wonder if you had tried to follow the next document on which is found your scenario. You shall find the following issues highlighted as shown down below:

The Bluetooth icon is missing, or Bluetooth can't be turned on or off.

Bluetooth doesn't work after a Windows 10 update is installed.

Bluetooth doesn't work after you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8.1 or Windows 7.

Bluetooth doesn't appear in Device Manager, and there are no unknown devices listed.

Let me know if that was helpful but if not, I can keep assisting you further.

Looking forward to your feedback,

Cheers,

Hello,

Most likely some device settings have been disabled or drivers for bluetooth device needs to be reinstalled after the repair.

You can check if the device is present and enabled in:

Device Manager

The device should appear under the Bluetooth subtree

In case it is not appearing you will need to consult the manufacturers website to install the proper drivers for this device to be detected by Windows.

You can also perform a health check a repair in order to ensure that all the components of Windows are working correctly:

• Perform a DISM health check and repair: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/repair-a-windows-image?view=windows-11
