So everyone I have asked before has told me that my laptop modle does not have bluetooth and for the most part this seems to be the case as I don't think that it has ever for the past 3 years I have had it.
Lately however when ever I would get a notification in the action center the bluetooth tile would appear with the others then disappear. Is this a glitch or something that is meant to happen or is something seriously wrong with my laptop where it has deleted my bluetooth that it came with?

It appears from the Product Specifications that your laptop doesn't have Bluetooth incorporated into the wifi adapter. I believe that the notification that you are receiving is a glitch that will not cause any problems. Most likely you would have to do a full System Recovery to eliminate it.

@ErikaRam, welcome back to the forum.
I presume we are still talking about your Dell laptop. Is this correct? If so, it would help if we had the model so we can review the specifications. Without seeing the specs, I can't say for certain, but I don't believe that you have a major problem. Just a glitch that is irritating.

Thank you so much, I was worried that it deleted my bluetooth that came with it. But as you say it never came with it in the first place then yeah it's most likely a glitch. It also only shows the tab thing under notifications when my computer is on idel for a long time/sleep and i turn it back on. It's there then it vanishes. So I think that's just my laptop waking itself up and stuff.
