Bluetooth icon dissapeared from taskbar, cannot bring it back

[Olli2109]

Hi All,

I am facing a strange problem since yesterday on my HP Desktop, the bluetooth icon has dissapeared from the taskbar, I tried several things like reinstalling the driver from the product official page, windows bluetooth troubleshooting etc. but nothing seems to help.

Anyone had a similar issue on Windows 10 x64?

I haven't updated to May update yet, so I am on build 1809 on Windows.

Thanks ahead,

Olli.
