The subject title says it all. For some unknown reason, the bluetooth icon suddenly disappeared from the task bar and the bluetooth on/off switch has disappeared. So I decided to check the device manager to find out what's going on. Just like any "bluetooth missing" forum question from the internet, the bluetooth option can only be found on the hidden devices section. Apparently my dumb*ss thought I could just simply uninstall every driver and download another one from the internet. I was wrong. The blutooth section disappeared as soon as I uninstalled the last driver.Now there's no more bluetooth on the hidden devices. I tried installing intel bluetooth drivers but it won't show up on device manager. I tried the "scan hardware" thingy and troubleshoots but they don't work either. I tried to reset the pc via media creation but nothing changed. Do I really have reset my pc just do bring back the bluetooth driver? Help would be appreciated.

    -Expand Bluetooth Driver

    -Click on Action and click Scan for Hardware changes

    -Check if the Bluetooth driver will appear

    Restart your computer and try to turn on the Bluetooth and pair your devices.
