Re: Bluetooth Drivers For Windows 10 Dell Optiplex 3050
Fabulously Favuzza
After investigation the issue appears to be the graphics driver it was using. Be it incorrect for that of the card that is inside the 3050 I used it because it worked. Our system has the Intel 610/630 graphics in it and I was using the 5xx series driver. I used this driver as no 32bit windows 7 driver was available from Intel for our card. If you uninstall the drivers reverting to the standard VGA drivers or use low resolution boot all freezing stops.
The switch for Bluetooth disappeared. I uninstalled it in the device manager and scanned for hardware changes, but it didn't reinstall. I manually reinstalled the drivers from intel's website and it still won't show up. Under services there are three Bluetooth related items all running on automatic. When I run the Bluetooth trouble shooter it says my computer doesn't have Bluetooth. My computer says everything is up to date and so are the drivers.
Thanks, in your case the restore may be what solved the problem. But still I gained great insight from your comment. You are the one who pointed me to the right direction(BIOS) where I found Bluetooth unchecked. I enabled it and installed latest drivers. Hurray! I now have Bluetooth.
Thanks so much for the update. My Bluetooth connection just disappeared.
What I did was to go F12 > BIOS > WIRELESS. Both my WLAN and Bluetooth is checked.
I just unchecked and checked again > APPLY.
I had noticed that my bios diagnostics said that no Bluetooth was installed. So I assumed my Bluetooth internal device must have had a hardware failure. But I was pleasantly surprised when this approach of using the restore old settings in bios fixed it.

This is supper. I did not know that Bluetooth can be enabled or disabled from Bios setup utility. I found the check box for Bluetooth unchecked. I ticked it and immediately the computer restarted, dell support assistant suggested driver update which I did and my Bluetooth worked immediately. Prior to this I had tried windows as well as dell troubleshooter which both showed I was running the lates drivers. Windows showed that Bluetooth is not available on this device while dell said the machine is out of warranty hence they cannot assist. Thanks man.

A device driver or software driver is a computer program allowing higher-level computer programs to interact with a hardware device. For the OptiPlex 3050, all the drivers' installation for their devices is similar except that some system may have more devices than the other.
After a clean installation of the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system, you must install the following drivers/software packages:
After a fresh copy of windows is installed, always install the Intel chipset driver utility first. After that, you can install the rest of the devices' drivers in any sequence. However, we would recommend you follow the convention below.
Check if the chipset driver is installed by looking at Device Manager. Install the Intel chipset update from the Support Site.
Windows 10>Chipset> Intel Chipset Device Software Driver.
Check if the Intel Management Engine driver is installed by looking at Device Manager. Install the Driver update from the Support Site.
Windows 10>Chipset> Intel Management Engine Component Installer
Check if the memory card driver is installed by looking at Device Manager. Install the Driver update from the Support Site.
