HI, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

1

Open the Settings App (gear icon on your Start Menu)

Go to Update and Security - Troubleshoot

Click 'Show Additional Troubleshooters'

Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter from the resulting page

Check if Bluetooth is then working

2

If not, open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

At the top of Device Manager, choose View - Show Hidden Devices

Does that show hidden Bluetooth device(s)

if so, right click and uninstall that

Restart your PC

Check if Bluetooth is then working

3

If Bluetooth is still not working, go to the Support page for your PC on the manufacturers website, then from there, download and install the Bluetooth device drivers they recommend.
