Re: Where To Turn On Bluetooth Windows 10
Gifford Brickley
Currently Windows 8.1 has users jumping through hoops to reach the settings that manage bluetooth connectivity (Charms->Settings->Change PC Settings->PC and Devices->Bluetooth->On/Off). I was wondering, is there any way to programmatically turn the bluetooth on/off from the command prompt? I just want to write code that basically does what the Windows OS appears to be doing from that settings screen, to simply switch the bluetooth on/off.
I don't want to simply make a shortcut link to the settings as some folks suggest. I'm challenging myself to write a script or program that can do this, but these past few days I've googled the net for information and at this point I'm not sure if it can even be done. I've even tried installing a Windows bluetooth command line library called "Bluetooth Command Line Tools" and tried using their "btconfig -c0" command, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there a language/approach/methodology that I can employ towards achieving this goal? Thanks!
I recently add the AX200 Desktop Set to my PC build. Wifi works fine, but windows device manager can't find bluetooth device. I've tried some suggestions in the forums like checking & installing the driver, restarting bluetooth services, and finally checking the M.2 Key E Slot in my motherboard. Strangely, when I tried to boot from Linux Ubuntu LTS 20.04 FF, it detected all the capabilities of the network card, both BT and WIFI.
Have you found any solve to this issue for people who are having the issue persist through tons of wipes>restarts>installs>restarts? Personally I dont use the wifi or bluetooth other than for printing, I'm hard wired otherwise and recently went to print something today and notice both my bluetooth and wifi adapters gone. Looked for them in dev manager, both also gone. Did your solution a ton of times to no avail. Updated bios, tried again, nothing. For reference I'm using an Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi, and normally my bluetooth/wifi adapters are disabled, but I can always see them and they're greyed out on my adapters page. I noticed they were just gone today and started troubleshooting and nothing has worked yet. I also did a network reset when all else failed, to try and get it to reinstall all the network adapters but that didnt work either. Anything else you got we can try? Would be greatly appreciated.
Yes, I unplugged my LAN connection and made sure windows displayed "no connection" on the taskbar. The WiFi on the AX200 works (it can find networks in search), but I didn't connect it to any network ever. Especially since windows informs me that I have no internet connection whenever I unplug the LAN cable.
If you're sure that you are staying disconnected, then keep uninstalling the drivers and rebooting until the drivers are gone. Remember that this is Wireless and BT both. In the BT case, the Intel driver is gone when you either don't see the device or you see the device listed generically with a Microsoft BT driver (I have modified my instructions above to make this clear). If this never happens (translation: you've done the uninstall/reboot, say, 10 times), then something is broken in your installation (most likely bad installer/uninstaller from Intel). You could try using Microsoft's troubleshooter (see this article for more information) or try one of the third-party driver driver removal products (I don't have a specific recommendation (I personally have never had to use one), but this article provides some recommendations).
If the Intel BT device is just not showing up, there may be a physical problem with your adapter (this is not the only discussion of modules whose Wireless is working fine but BT not at all). It may, however, be a problem with your motherboard's BIOS, so check for BIOS updates.
I have tried the above solution repeatedly and BT simply does not appear in Device Manager. I've uninstalled the devices and all existing drivers then installed the latest Intel drivers (22.80.1 64-bit) for both WiFi and BT. Device Manger shows the WiFi with the correct Intel driver, but no BT at all.
Are there any other solutions? Is this problem also present with newer Intel M.2 adapters like AX210 and AX211? has anyone found another M.2 card that works? Since many other brand M.2 cards use the Intel chipset, I don't want to replace the Intel AX200 card only to find that the replacement card still uses the Intel drivers and doesn't work either.
Same here... No joy using AX200 or AX201 on a Panasonic CF-C2, which comes standard with this type of card. Not this level of card, but the same type only an older model. Everything works really well on this PC and we use it for vehicle diagnostics. The only thing lacking is the network performance. So far, I've tested three different types. Initially, a Chinese seller's version and then genuine Intel direct from Intel. Then a desktop version that also uses e-Key - only I didn't use the antennae that comes with the package.
Unfortunately I have the same problem with bluetooth on AX200. Im very confuset of that. I bought this Wi-Fi card especially for built in BT module. So... I have modern B560 motherboard and still can't to encourage BT module to work. Today I bought separate USB BT key and it works like a charm!
I did the same thing. After testing multiple different units (AX200, AX210, etc.) the problem persisted, so I kept the AX210 installed and purchased an ultra-low-profile USB Bluetooth 5.1 adapter and it works flawlessly.

After installing Windows 10 I have completely lost my bluetooth option on my laptop. It no longer appears under device manager. Also, I am unable to uninstall the bluetooth program/driver that appears in Control Panel.
In device manager, right click this PC select manage, there should be a section called Bluetooth. It should appear even if all services are disabled. If it is not there I would double check my BIOS/UEFI and make sure the bluetooth adapter is turned on. I have all bluetooth options and apps disabled and the device still shows up although it is also disabled.
Thank you. My windows 10 was an upgrade, not a fresh install. I have ran Services.msc and found that it will only let me start two of the five bluetooth options. Bluetooth Handsfree Device and Bluetooth Support Service. The other 3 give me error 1053.
As stated, there is no bluetooth section appearing in Device Manager. This disappeared after installing Windows 10. In Bluetooth and other device settings in Windows 10 there is no option to turn on blue tooth, which would lead me to think the bluetooth driver needs to be updated/reinstalled, but does not work. I get an error when I try to repair from the control panel . Also, control panel does not provide an option to uninstall. There are no changes with reinstalling the driver either.
I just now see my blue tooth adapter in Device Manager when looking for hidden devices. I tried updating but it says my version is the latest and there are no updates. I guess its good I found where I can see it, but have no idea where to go from here.
Control panal doesnt have a bluetooth option, that is correct. Also you don't have to worry about your BIOS or UEFI but usually you select F1, or F10 or F12 on boot, depends on model etc, some are DEL. I wouldn't mess about in there it doesnt seem like thats your issue.
You can right click this pc and go to the hardware tab and click device installation settings and allow the computer to auto update drivers. I would also run windows update and make sure there isnt any drivers that have not been selected.
I previously saw my bluetooth adapter in device manager, but I don't know after uninstalling it. I read something where this could allow the adapter to be reinstalled, but it hasn't. I currently do not see my bluetooth adapter in device manager.
I do not have a bluetooth driver management service in my services section. The closest I have is Bluetooth Support Service or Bluetooth Media Service. Bluetooth Support Service is set to automatic. I get an error when I try to start Bluetooth Media Service.
I have a pair of Taotronics Soundliberty 79 earbuds. They've pair fine with my laptop running Win 10 and work for listening to music. I've also tested joining a Google Meets meeting and audio works fine in both directions.
However, when I join a MS Teams meeting after a minute or two I can no longer hear audio through my earbuds, but the microphone continues to work and others can hear me. I need to go to device settings in Teams and switch to PC speaker/mic then back to the earbuds to restore audio which only lasts a couple of minutes before dropping out again.
I am also experiencing this issue. BT speaker connected, works fine, until a Teams call is made, or answered. BT speaker is connected, and I tried force closing teams, however the only way to resume audio from the BT speaker, is to reboot the PC.
Also having this issue. Currently connecting using the Bose 700 headphones, they work fine in google meetings, webex etc for both audio and mic. As soon as I receive or make a Teams video call, the mic continues to work, but Im not able to get any audio. Change it to PC speaker and mic, and works fine. If I ever do get it to work for a teams meeting, if I disconnect the call, and reconnect into a new video call, the problem presents itself. I have tried different Bluetooth headsets, and get the same problem. @JBF_SE
@ThereseSolimeno The issue is, audio devices, such as BT speakers stop altogether after a teams call. My Jabra Evolve works fine, connected via the supplied dongle, and BT keyboard and mouse work fine. BT SPEAKERS however, teams for some reason will stop streaming audio after a call, even though all connections are OK. Can switch devices, from monitor speakers, OK. Laptop speakers, OK. Headset, OK. BT speakers? NO, and even re-pairing will not work, a reboot is needed.
