Hi @dihaw,
Code 45 means Windows can't detect the device at the moment. Note that the Qualcomm Atheros AR9485 is a Wi-Fi-only adapter, so Bluetooth would come from a separate device or driver.
- Shut down (not restart), unplug the charger, hold the Power button for 30 seconds, then turn the laptop back on.
- Check that Airplane mode is off and Bluetooth is turned on in Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
- In Device Manager, click View > Show hidden devices, uninstall the greyed-out Bluetooth entries, and then click Action > Scan for hardware changes.
- Download the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi drivers for your exact model from HP Software and Driver Downloads.
Please share your laptop's full model/product number so we can point you to the exact driver.
