I bought the laptop a week ago. The bluetooth worked for 2 days then I installed the updates from Hp and the bluetooth cannot detect devices anymore. The device cannot be detected by others too, the visiblity although is turned on. Please suggest a solution.

Thank you for joining HP Forums.
I'll be glad to help you 🙂
As I understand the Bluetooth doesn't work anymore,
No worries, as I'll be glad to help you, that said, I'll need a few more details to dissect your concern & provide an accurate solution:
Did you attempt to update the BIOS & the wireless card drivers after the issue occurred?
Since the issue occurred after the HP updates, did you attempt a system restore to an earlier date the computer worked?
While you respond to that, here's a few things you can try:
Let's start with the Hard Reset: (To release any excessive static causing the issue).
This method works for a variety of Driver connection and ‘stuck’ program issues.
-
Shut down the computer
-
Disconnect all external devices - everything.
-
Remove AC power and the battery
-
Press and hold power button for at least 30 seconds
-
Reconnect the AC power (only),
-
Power on > Login
-
Next time you shut down the system, reinstall battery and follow the below steps.
