Hi Everyone, I am unable to get Bluetooth to work on Windows 10 upgrade, in fact it doesn't show up on device manager. I also tried using a dongle with no success. Any ideas?
Regards

Sounds like a compatibility issue either the actual hardware of the available driver.
Have you checked with HP (for your specific model) for any Win 10, or at least Win 8.1 (not Win drivers for the Bluetooth?
Is there any devices listed in the device manager with errors? Or unknown devices? Which will probably be the Bluetooth. _________________ GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat, SIT Strings

Thanks Jack, I have checked device manager and found nothing I haven't checked with HP for bluetooth updates. |

I would suspect it is not compatible (seems odd but there are those that are not). If it were compatible (and not have a hardware problem), Windows would have installed either the correct hardware driver or a generic driver.
Only other possibility is, the Bluetooth was inadvertently disabled in the BIOS or the BIOS is corrupted (and needs reset). Look in the BIOS and see if there is any entry for Bluetooth. You will have to boot Windows and then do a "Restart" to be able to get into the BIOS, as Fastboot is normally enabled and that doesn't allow you to get into the BIOS at power on. _________________ GFI Ultra Keyless S-10 with pad (Black of course) TB202 amp, Hilton VP, Steelers Choice sidekick seat, SIT Strings
