Hi @syed0001,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused don’t worry let me help you.
The hardware ID you shared PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5229&SUBSYS_1854103C&REV_01 actually corresponds to a Realtek device that is usually not the Bluetooth adapter. This is likely why Windows Update is installing a “broken” driver. Installing the wrong driver won’t fix the Bluetooth issue.
To help us provide the correct driver and installation steps, please provide the following details:
- Your full HP Product Number – this can be found on a sticker under your laptop or by pressing Windows + R → type cmd → enter wmic bios get serialnumber
- Confirm if Bluetooth appears at all in Device Manager, and if so, does it show any error code (like Code 10 or Code 31)?
- Enter the serial number on this link https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers and download the bluetooth driver .
I hope this helps.
