Iam having problems with Bluetooth on my pc not even being visible to turn off and on, it's not showing up in the device manager but if I go to & apps and features it shows there is a driver installed but nothing showing up. When I originally had my PC running on windows 11 my bluetooth was there and working since doing updates that DST has told me to do I performed the latest for my bluetooth to disappear completely.

I have a Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX210 160MHz driver installed for my wireless however no matter what combination I have tried whether it was a fresh install of the drivers (removing them, restarting computer with no internet connection and then installing the drivers manually) which failed and the DST is showing my device drivers as up to date. I have also tried rolling back the driver which did not work and I really do not want to have to fresh rebuild my entire operating system already but I am getting to a loss on how to resolve this.


In this case, we would recommend first checking the BIOS settings in case there is an option related to the Bluetooth that might be disabled or Off. For this task, we recommend reviewing your computer's User Manual or contacting ASUS* Support for proper assistance.


If such as Bluetooth setting is Enabled/On, we recommend trying a clean installation of both Bluetooth and Wireless drivers. The driver or software for your Intel component might have been changed or replaced by the computer manufacturer, therefore, we recommend trying this first with the customized drivers from Asus* website. Please download and save the following drivers:


I have tried these steps however it seems that every time I uninstalled the driver it wouldn't remove, when it finally removed and stayed removed from the device manager I restarted and checked it hadn't reappeared which it had not, I tried to install the ASUS drivers to which did not even appear to install the devices whatsoever. It literally did nothing when trying to run and running it as administrator. I even restarted the computer to check they didn't need a restart.


I then tried the fresh install of the Intel drivers as advised as the secondary drivers to install. The Bluetooth driver seemed to install however is still not displaying in the device manager (please see attached screenshot of the device manager (this is set to show hidden devices too)) yet it shows installed on the Apps and features (please see attached apps & features) I then tried to reinstall the WIFI driver and it keeps failing to install and no longer lists the device in the device manager.


4- Check Device Manager, if you see entries regarding Wireless and Bluetooth, try to manually remove the drivers following the Clean installation articles: (if you don't see these entries, skip to the next step)


I tried the above as asked nether the less and still neither device works. Looking at my device manager now it appears that only one of my 2 ethernet ports are functioning properly too. (Please see attached ethernet port error.png).


I first of all disconnected from the internet and removed all the intel software listed above with discarding the settings (please see attached apps&features.png) I then rebooted the computer and opened device manager and removed all the wireless drivers and bluetooth drivers until they had completely disappeared and did not show up again. I then cleared all temporary files using check disk and the system temporary files too.


I then restarted my computer and attempted to install the ASUS drivers which did nothing, I then went into device manager and manually added the device driver which gave the following results (please see bluetoothinstall.png). I checked device manager and saw no bluetooth still but decided to try the wireless install which gave the following results (please see WI-FI install.png). however nothing appeared in the device manager after scanning for hardware changes still nothing so I restarted the computer.


I then opened device manager again and noticed that it has installed the device as a "network controller" listed under the other devices (please see attached Other.png) category. I then uninstalled this and repeated the process this time for the intel drivers to which has done the exact same and has now left my ethernet driver showing the above mentioned image ethernet port error.png


When you restarted the computer, did you have internet access completely disabled? If not, you are going to have Windows Update step in and install the same junk as before. You need to ensure this that you have no internet connection until after you have manually installed the various driver packages that you have downloaded.


After reviewing this, the best action is to contact the computer manufacturer (OEM) for more assistance since this seems to be related to hardware issues and may need a further inspection from your OEM. However, before that, you may try the following suggestions.


There is a good chance though that the card may just be burned out. I have to replace mine more than I should. It gets too hot sometimes. That model does not come with a heat sink so 80% shot that it fried itself. It happens but you shouldn't have to worry about it shorting out your PCI lane. Grab a replacement with maybe a heat sink or a fan or do what I do and install it under the graphics card fan to use it's cooling fan (yes, still warm but not hot) to regulate temps.

The Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 should work well in Microsoft Windows* 10. However, there are no Intel drivers for the Bluetooth* component of the adapter. There are only inbox drivers, meaning that the drivers are built into Windows* 10 or can be obtained through Windows* Update.


If the drivers were not found and the Bluetooth* adapter is not enumerated during the install/upgrade of Windows 10, then you should go into Device Manager, select the (unknown) device, then choose the option to update the driver via Windows Update and let the Operating System find the driver automatically.


Jonathan - I tried this and received the message that Windows was unable to install your Unknown Device. This is the only unknown device listed and I'm fairly certain it is my bluetooth adapter. I see no other entries in Device Manager for Bluetooth devices. I also checked my manufacturers website (HP) and was unable to locate any Bluetooth drivers there. Do you have any other suggestions? I already spoke with HP support and they told me to talk to Intel.


last option, is check with your manufacturer propietary system/driver care software updater, but if you know the component not working is intel, you can skip that. I have VAio care, Hp Care and lenovo solutions, sometimes they work, sometimes not.


Check the I/0 of the device and see if there are conflicts. Go under properties in device manager of your network adapter, and scroll down to bluetooth, than you need to cross check those drivers, but this is going to be a lot more complicated..


The last two days, I've been experiencing constant troubles with my bluetooth driver. In summary, the bluetooth toggle bar had disappeared, but did not reappear after turning my pc off and on again. When checking the device manager, the bluetooth driver seemed to be present, but greyed out. Similarly, the network adapter 'Bluetooth device (personal area network)' was greyed out. (See added .png, the icons in red are gone or greyed out).


After looking for ways of dealing with this problem online, I reinstalled the bluetooth driver again, which it successfully did, but again the icons appeared greyed out. After turning my pc off and on again for a second time, suddenly everything was fine again.


However, I quickly noticed that every time my pc went into sleep mode, the problem would occur again, after which I had to reinstall the driver many times over again, turn my pc off and on again, go on online forums to see if it had anything to do with incompatibility issues of older or newer versions ... basically anything I, a layperson, could think of.


I managed to reinstall the most recent bluetooth driver via the Intel website, and miraculously, everything seemed to work again. I then shut down my pc. The next day, I activated my pc and simultaneously activated my headphones to look for bluetooth connection. It connected successfully and keeps doing so, but only if I rigorously avoid getting my pc in sleep mode. At a certain moment, however, when the bluetooth toggle bar was visible but my headphones were disconnected for some odd 15 minutes perhaps, I saw the icon disappear, after which I checked the device manager and found everything in grey again.


By reinstalling the driver several times more, intermixed with turning my pc off and on again, somehow I managed to get bluetooth working again (this time, I downloaded it from the Acer website, where I installed the version they recommended for my particular Acer pc model). IDSA keeps, however, suggesting an update of the Intel Wireless Bluetooth Driver (to version 22.120.0.3), and I'm scared to do it. Also, I'm not sure if the currently working bluetooth driver will or won't crash when I disconnect my headphones again ...


We provide generic drivers for general purposes. Your computer manufacturer (OEM) might have customized drivers and software to enable or alter features, or provide improved operation on your computer. Therefore, the usual recommendation is to use the OEM driver as the first option. Also, Intel Driver & Support Assistant (Intel DSA) just scans drivers updates using the Intel database, which will only offer generic drivers when it comes to third-party systems; in this case, It is not always a must to install driver updates offered by the tool if the current OEM drivers are working fine. In that scenario, you may just disregard the update notification.
