Most of the times, I can work-around this kind of issue by disabling energy saving (Allow the computer to turn off this device do save power) on the USB Hub below the device (in the Device Manager, use View Device by connection).

I faced the same issue, after checking many videos, articles, it did not solve the problem, like Bluetooth service restart, drive update etc etc. Then i just selected the Reset this PC option as last resort, and the windows update center downloaded a repair version which after the install fixed the issue. Now BT is showing up and working fine. Reset this PC with repair version won't delete anything from your system, everything will remain same it will just fix any issues with the drivers and patch them. Try this and vote it if this helps.

Hello

How long has this been going on?

Did it happen after a system update?

Here are a few suggestions that might help:

Update Bluetooth Drivers: Make sure you’re using the latest Bluetooth drivers. You can update them from the PC maker’s Support Downloads webpage for your exact model.

Power Management Settings: In Device Manager, locate your Bluetooth device, right-click it, and select Properties. Go to the Power Management tab and untick the box against "Allow The Computer To Turn Off This Device To Save Power".

Run the Bluetooth Troubleshooter: Open Settings (Windows key + I). Click on System, then Troubleshoot. Go to Other troubleshooters, run the Bluetooth troubleshooter. Restart the computer after completion.

Adjust Sleep Settings: If you want to save power and want to use a Bluetooth device, it is recommended that you prevent the system from going to sleep and then turn off your screen after a period of idle time (just turn off the screen, not shut down). You can visit “How to adjust power and sleep settings in Windows” for details.

This is on a newly serviced system, brand new components, fully updated, everything is working great except this piece. This is when the computer has been idle, on (not sleeping) for several hours without interaction.
