Fix Bluetooth Not Showing In Device Manager On Windows 11 & 10 - Get Missing BT

Hey what's going on guys Sandeep here and this is  another common problem with windows 10 and windows   11 that sometimes your bluetooth doesn't work at  all even you don't get bluetooth option on your pc   if you go to settings then bluetooth and devices  option then you won't find any option to turn   on or turn off your bluetooth if you try to add a  device bluetooth device then it will say couldn't   connect and if you go to device manager option  then here you won't find your Bluetooth option   in the list so in this video i will show you some  methods to fix bluetooth problem with your windows   10 and Windows 11. I have done this video for  windows 11 but it will work on windows 10 as   well so the first thing you can check is if the  airplane mode is turned on by any mistake this is   unlikely to happen but you should check it click  on the wi-fi option and check if the airplane mode   is turned off or you can open the action center  in windows 10. this is unlikely to happen but you   should check now the next thing is that go to  search windows search and search for services   and then open services app and from there look  for bluetooth support service and make sure   this service is running if it is not running  right click on it and click on Start option   and then right-click again and go to properties  and make sure the startup type is selected as   automatic not manual hit Apply and Ok  and you have to enable other Bluetooth   related services as well like this service  if it is disabled you can enable it as well   this won't do much but you should enable these  services Bluetooth related services on your pc   and after that check, if you are getting  Bluetooth option into your windows pc or not   in my case, I am still not getting the Bluetooth  option there is no Bluetooth option but in your   case this may fix the problem now for the next  method go to search and search for device manager   and open this option device manager and here  you will see list of drivers into your pc   but the Bluetooth is missing then  you can click on this action option   but before you have to select your pc name then  Click on action then scan for hardware changes   if your bluetooth hardware was not detected  by any chance then it may fix the problem and   you will see the Bluetooth option or you can  Click on action tab again and go to add legacy   hardware click on the next option next again and  here you have to look for the Bluetooth option   or the network adapters so if you find Bluetooth  option then select it if you don't find Bluetooth   then select network adapter click on next  and next again then select the intel option   and on the right-hand side you may  see the Bluetooth option into your pc   so you have to check if you are getting  Bluetooth option on the right-hand side or not   and if you are getting bluetooth option  then select that option and click on next   so that you can install the  bluetooth driver on your computer   in my case it is not showing so I will show you  the process you just have to select the Bluetooth   driver and click on next so that you can install  that driver and after installing the bluetooth   driver you may have to restart your pc and then  check if you are getting bluetooth option or not   in my case, i am still not getting the Bluetooth  option so I will proceed for another fix the   next thing you can do is open file explorer and  go to this pc c drive windows system32 folder and here you have to search for f squared you  have to search for this term and then you will   get an option with Bluetooth logo this one  right-click on it and send it to the desktop you will get a bluetooth shortcut on the desktop  you can use this option to send and receive   files but if the Bluetooth hardware or drivers  are not working then this option will not work   as well but still you can try this option to  send and receive the files now the next method   is to use windows troubleshooter go to menu then  settings system settings and then troubleshoot   option if you are on the windows 10 then you will  get troubleshoot option inside windows update   page so you have to find troubleshoot option  and look for other troubleshooters click on   this option and look for Bluetooth option so you  have to run the troubleshooter for the Bluetooth   I will simply click on the run option  or the troubleshoot option in windows 10   then windows troubleshooter will try to find the  problem with your device and give you an option to   fix the problem in my case the troubleshooter  is saying that device does not have Bluetooth   but I know that there is a Bluetooth it was  working before but it is not being detected   so this is not a windows problem, not a driver  problem but somehow the Bluetooth hardware into   my pc is not being detected by the windows so  this is a hardware problem not a windows problem   so I have to troubleshoot the hardware but I know  the Bluetooth was working very fine last night i   turned on my computer today and it is not working  so if you are also getting the troubleshooter   message like device does not have Bluetooth then  follow this process you have to completely shut   down your computer first, let me shut down my  computer now you may have a laptop or custom   built pc if you have custom-built pc then first  turn up the PSU power that is power supply power   and then take out the power cord you have to  remove the power cord and then press and hold   the power button for 30 seconds so you have to  discharge all the capacitors I mean do the power   flush now if you are on the laptop you can do the  power plus as well if you can take out the battery   take it out and do the power flush by pressing  and holding the power button for 30 seconds   if the battery is not removable then discharge  your laptop fully and do the power flush   and make sure there is no extra peripherals  connected to the pc only the essential one after   the power flush connects everything back and turn  on the power supply and then start your computer in my case, the power flush did the work and I am getting Bluetooth option on my windows 11 so   this was not a windows or driver problem this was  something related to the hardware so if you are   getting troubleshooter message like device does  not support Bluetooth does not have Bluetooth then   do this thing do the power flush and check you  can see that I am getting bluetooth options again   on the device manager now there may be another  problem with your windows 10 or 11 that you are   getting bluetooth option in the device manager but  you can't use bluetooth you can't turn on or turn   off bluetooth or you can't connect to any devices  in this case you can try to update the intel   Bluetooth intel wireless Bluetooth driver right  Click on this option and click on update driver   search automatically for the driver and  most probably you will get this message   then you can try to disable it right-click  and disable this option Bluetooth option   and then re-enable it right click and enable  device and check if the Bluetooth is working   or not if not you can try to uninstall  the device right click and uninstall do not check this attempt to remove the  driver for this device and click on uninstall   and after that, you have to restart your computer  and check if the Bluetooth is working fine or not   if it is still not working then uninstall the  Bluetooth or driver and remove the driver software   from the computer in the last step you have seen  then go to intel website official intel website   and then download the bluetooth driver for your  windows 10 or windows 11. so simply search for   intel bluetooth driver and go to the official  link and then download the software for your   windows 10 or 11. you should try the latest one  once downloaded you have to install the intel   bluetooth driver wireless support driver just  follow on screen instructions and you would be   able to install the driver and you have to restart  your computer after this process after installing   the driver and check if the Bluetooth is working  or not if it is still not working go to the   official website of the laptop or pc manufacturer  and download the official driver for your computer   and install it and this should fix the Bluetooth  problem with your windows 10 or windows 11   and if the Bluetooth is still not working on  your computer then there might be a problem   with Bluetooth hardware on your computer so  you can get any of these Bluetooth dongles   and it should work fine and if you are having any  problem let me know into the comments and that's   all for this video guys hope this helped if so  hit the like button and don't
