Perfect! Thanks for your effort and patience - now all devices are found and also connected. The BT problem seems to be solved.
Thank you very much.
However, the WLAN problem still exists. Right now the connection just dies. That means there is a WLAN connection but no internet. If I then run the HP troubleshooter, several adapters are reset and then it works again. But it is not a solution in the long run. Can it be that BT and WLAN come somewhere in the quere?

You're very welcome.
I don't know if I can help with the Wi-Fi issue, but I checked the Windows update catalog website again and I did find a slightly newer driver for the Wi-Fi adapter, but I don't know if it will work for your exact card.
I guess you have nothing to lose by trying to update the Wi-Fi driver.
This is the version I found:
10.0.0.326 09/06/2015
I have zipped up and attached the driver below.
Use the same method to manually update the driver like you did the first time with the Bluetooth:
Download and unzip the file to its folder. Do not do anything with the files in the folder.
Go to the device manager, click on the Atheros AR9485 Wi-Fi adapter.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update driver.
Select the 'Browse my computer for drivers' option and browse to the driver folder you unzipped.
Make sure the Include subfolders box is checked and the driver should install.
Then restart the PC and see if the Wi-Fi works better with the updated driver from Microsoft.
