Spectre 13 v101nv
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Spectre 13 v101nv

Suddenly bluetooth has stoped working, no icons and devices on the bluetooth windows 10 panel.

I have tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the latest ones from Intel.

Also I have removed the device from the device manager and rebooted the laptop, still the same.

I have also installed the bluetooth drivers from the HP support website .

 

I am always getting the following on the device manager:

 

Windows have stopped this device because of reported problems (Code 43)

A request for the USB device descriptor failed.

 

Any help ?

Is the bluetooth hardware destroyed ?

Do I have to reinstall windows , which I don't want?

Hi

 

Bluetooth is not showing as a device, so it is possibly a hardware failure, BUT...

 

If it showed in Device Manager and Windows gets/generates an error code it could be a dodgy driver.

 

So if it is, you clear all the Bluetooth drivers out and go back to the earliest one you can.

Hi

 

Can you please post back the output from these 2 commands...

 

PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter"
PowerShell -Command "Get-NetAdapter -Name * | Format-Table -View Driver"

They should show something like this...

Prego.

 

Just be wary of future updates un-doing your good work.

After shuting down the laptop to go home, and opened it at home it happened the same.
