Greetings,
This can happen sometimes if the Bluetooth Support Service is disabled.
Check in your Services to determine if this service is disabled.
- Click Start Orb > type services in the searchbox
- Click services in the search results above
- Look for Bluetooth Support Service in the list of services on the right pane.
If it is set to disabled:
- Right-click Bluetooth Support Service > click Properties
- Under Startup type select Automatic then click OK
