Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

This could be an issue with the bluetooth drivers

I suggest you download and run the HP Support Assistant from this Link: https://www8.hp.com/us/en/campaigns/hpsupportassistant/hpsupport.html?jumpid=va_r602_us/en/any/psg/p...

HPSA will automatically search for all the latest drivers for your Notebook

1. Click My devices in the top menu, and then click Updates in the My PC or My notebook pane.

   

2. Click Check for updates and messages to scan for new updates.

   

3. Review the list of updates. Updates with a yellow information icon are recommended. Updates with a blue information icon are optional.

4. Click the update name for a description, version number, and file size.

5. Select the box next to any updates you want to install, and then click Download and install.

Also ensure Windows is up to date.

Select the Start  button, and then go to Settings  > Update & security  > Windows Update , and select Check for updates. If Windows Update says your device is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available

Keep me posted how it goes

Thank you and have a wonderful day 😊

The Realtek RTL8188EE-VJ 802 11b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi adapter is just a wireless card and does not have bluetooth capability

You mentioned that the Bluetooth was working before.

May I know which Bluetooth device were you using? Were you using a separate Bluetooth dongle which you connect to the USB ports?

Thank you
