Bluetooth disappeared from Device Manager on Pavilion All-In-One 24-b016

Bluetooth disappeared from Device Manager.  Tried HP Assistant - no luck. Tried to update BIOS and drivers as suggested but find multiple choices and I don't know which is correct.  How can I get my Bluetooth back?

Your machine uses Intel 3165 WiFi card. Please download and re-install the following Intel Bluetooth Driver (Windows 10) software

Hi,

I have the same issue - Device Manager has no references to Bluetooth, scanning for new hardware doesn't pick this up.

I have a Pavilion All-in-One 24-b209na.

Could you confirm if the recommended fix resolves the issue, and if so what drivers I need to install on this machine?

Thanks,

Mark

I have tried installing this several times with no luck.  Intel's website shows a newer version (March 2019) that it recommends installing but no luck - my Device Manager still shows a driver dated Dec. 2018. Is a Windows Reset in my future?

Submitted a support request to Intel.  Keeping my fingers crossed.

Well I've tried just about everything...

- setting BIOS back to factory defaults

- used Intel Driver and Support assistant to set to latest driver

- reinstalled Bluetooth driver using HP Recovery Manager

- installed driver from HP Support site, Intel Bluetooth Driver (Windows 10) 20.20.0.5 Rev.B

Still no sign in Device Manager.

Anything else you can suggest I try?

Thanks, Mark

Heard back from Intel customaer support.  They want to do a remote session and a "wireless clean install" of the unit.  Will post the results.

How did you get on Squarehead42 - did you get your Bluetooth back yet?

Thanks, Mark

Sorry for the delay.

Intel tried to install the driver update to 20.xxxxx from 18.xxxxx without success. Taking your suggestion that Windows update may be the cause, I tried to do a System Restore.  All my previous restore points are gone; only have 4/5/19 and 4/9/19, both of which are useless.  Also, my Windows update history is confusing.  Still looking for the Windows 10 Creator update to try to revert back to previous version.

Also, I found an Intel driver update to 19.xxxxx from 18.xxxxx which I installed.  No luck with restoring Bluetooth with that.

I'm kind of tied up with some personal things right now so it may be a few days before I can give this any serious attention.

Thanks for the update - HP Support, can you provide any guidance?

Thanks, Mark
