Cant connect my bluetooth device tomy HP Envy laptop

[kokcy]

I am unable to connect my HP Envy laptop with my wireless mouse. Previously, to the right of the screen, i used to see the Bluetooth button when i click on notifications, but my laptop restarted itself and since the restart, i have been unable to find that button to click and connect my Bluetooth devices. I don't even know where the button has disappeared to. Please help.

You can look at the attached image and you will see that there is no button that reads 'Bluetooth', although there is Tablet mode,  Wifi, VPN etc.
