The troubleshooter still thinks that "Bluetooth is not available on this device" I've circled back around and made sure that the bluetooth service is still enabled, and I re-ran the bluetooth troubleshooter. Still no bluetooth drivers are shown in my Device Manager. The results were nearly identical to point 6. I've tried installing this generic Intel bluetooth driver. Although it had installed a new directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Bluetooth Suite, when I view my Device Manager, there are still no bluetooth drivers to be found. When Windows rebooted, Bluetooth still did not work.

I ran the included installation wizard, which when finished, prompted a restart. There is a driver clearly marked "Bluetooth". I downloaded and installed the bluetooth device driver directly from my mobo manufacturer website. I've run the DISM tool to check for any corruptions in my Windows installation. I've made sure that I have no pending Windows updates Now when I view my drivers in the Device Manager (making sure to reveal hidden devices) there are no bluetooth drivers at all I uninstalled them and restarted Windows, but it did not reinstall those drivers. Navigating to View > Show hidden devices revealed them. I navigated to the device manager, but found that all of my bluetooth drivers had been hidden.

Multiple times it was suggested on the windows forums to simply uninstall all bluetooth drivers and restart Windows, and that this would prompt Windows to correctly reinstall the drivers. It is now started and configured correctly. I had to manually reconfigure my Bluetooth Support service to automatically start up with Windows, since it had been completely disabled (not sure how it got disabled). It thinks that "Bluetooth is not available on this device". I simply ran the bluetooth troubleshooter. I have booted into my BIOS and confirmed that bluetooth hardware functionality is enabled. I went to go toggle bluetooth back on and noticed that the toggle switch is missing. I can't be sure exactly what caused this, but at some point recently, bluetooth stopped working. It has Bluetooth 4.1 baked into it, and it was working great until recently.

I have an Asus ROG Maximus IX Code motherboard.
