I'm having trouble connecting a new Bluetooth device to my PC. When I checked the settings, I noticed there's no Bluetooth on/off toggle like I expected, and in the device manager, Bluetooth is hidden by default. I can unhide it, but it disappears again every time I reopen the device manager. This makes me think Bluetooth might be disabled somehow. My PC says all drivers are up to date, so I'm not sure what's going on. Any advice on getting Bluetooth back? Thanks!

If your device manager keeps hiding Bluetooth, it's likely a software glitch. Try checking for Windows updates, as sometimes these can fix compatibility issues. Also, consider uninstalling the Bluetooth driver, then restarting your PC. Windows should reinstall it automatically, which can help resolve the issue.
Sounds frustrating! Another thing you could try is running the Bluetooth troubleshooter. Just go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters and select Bluetooth. This might help identify any problems and suggest fixes.
First off, make sure your motherboard is supposed to support Bluetooth. Sometimes, it might be disabled in the BIOS settings or it's not recognized properly. If you've had it working before, that's a good sign, but it's worth double-checking. If possible, look for any BIOS options to enable Bluetooth or find updated drivers from the manufacturer's website.
