To turn on Bluetooth in Windows 10, follow these steps:
- Click the Start button and select Settings (gear icon).
- Go to Devices and then select Bluetooth & other devices.
- In the Bluetooth & other devices window, find the Bluetooth toggle switch and turn it On.
Alternatively, you can turn Bluetooth on or off via the Action Center:
- Click the Action Center icon near the clock on the taskbar.
- Click the Bluetooth tile to toggle it on or off. If the tile is not visible, click Expand to see more options.
- If Bluetooth still does not appear, you can add it by going to Start > Settings > System > Notifications & actions > Edit your quick actions, then add Bluetooth from there
If the Bluetooth option is missing from Settings or Action Center, it may mean your device does not have a Bluetooth adapter or the drivers are not installed. You can check this by:
- Right-clicking the Start button and selecting Device Manager.
- Expanding the Bluetooth section to see if your Bluetooth device is listed and enabled.
- If missing or showing a warning, try updating or reinstalling the Bluetooth drivers
If problems persist, running the Bluetooth troubleshooter in Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Bluetooth can help diagnose and fix issues
. In summary, the primary method is via Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, with quick access through the Action Center. Driver or hardware issues may require further troubleshooting in Device Manager or running the troubleshooter
