Hi My MSFT, I went into BOIS and found Bluetooth was turned off , I tuned it on and you guessed it. all good now.
How do I go into BOIS? I've got the same problem but am not very computer savy so don't know what you mean by this or how to do it.
Bluetooth is missing from Device Manager

I've been having issues with my laptop suddenly thinking it doesn't support bluetooth. I've tried all the options I can find including running the troubleshooter, telling device manager to show hidden items, downloading and installing the latest drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website, and more. It seems if I can get bluetooth to show up in the device manager I'll be able to uninstall it, restart the laptop, and it should reinstall bluetooth upon booting back up. But I cannot get bluetooth to show up in the device manager. I don't want to accept that bluetooth simply doesn't work on my laptop any more and resort to buying an external bluetooth adapter, but it's looking like that's my only option right now. Any help would be appreciated.
