ivan, in device manager all looks good.
McKnife, I installed every possible driver in their page!
keyser, I don't think it's win10 related cause the problem was the same before I upgraded from win7.
I have purchased a bluetooth adapter for my x230 from aliexpress and when I wanted to install it I was surprise to find one already inside, see I thought my laptop had none!
Question is how to activate it!?
I think if I can manage to run Lenovo wireless app, the one that let's you switch on and off wifi
then I would have something to turn BT on. I just can't seem to be able to install it!
If you install it, what does device manager show?

I do not have BlueTooth in this menu!!
McKnife,
I installed the driver you suggested(although I already have installed), it says ready to use but still all the same!!
Also, when you click the little message icon in the bottom, right-hand corner, do you see Bluetooth as an option?

tried directly installing the software, looks like installed all ok, but still fn+f5 is controlled by what seems
like a win10 menu, anyway no BT in there!
