This driver doesn't appear in the list of the network as a «WiFi adapter» adapters I generally back the driver but, this option is not available in the Properties menu. Please notify.

Hi @A2Ruff,

Welcome to the HP support community!

I read your post on your computer laptop 15-ac178nr HP detects only not the Bluetooth. I uninstall the driver Reattek and reboot the laptop. Update the driver for Bluetooth Device Manager.

Hereis a linkthat shows you how to check that the Bluetooth discovery settings are turned on and file sharing is also turned on.

Please get back to me how that happens.

    I have a 32 bit HP under Windows 7 Pro laptop.

    I can't access the Bluetooth of the machine functionality.  It does not appear in Control Panel or Device Manager.

  • Satellite L640 and Bluetooth functionality

    Satellite L640 come with Bluetooth? If so, how to enable it?

    If not, should what accessories I buy to get the Bluetooth functionality?

    Can you please send us the complete laptop (L640-xxx) model name so that we can check the specs of the laptop on the Toshiba site.

    What you can do is to check the list of installed programs in Control Panel > programs and features and check if the BT software is listed. Otherwise I think that your laptop is not BT
    Another way to check is to use the FN + F8 key combination and see if there is option for WLAN only or BT is also offered. Laptop with BT have WLAN option only.

    If you want to use BT with your laptop, you can buy the small stick USB BT, install the BT software and you will posibiity to connect external devices with yout laptop with BT connection.

  • Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 bluetooth service is not in the list.

    Original title: Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 bluetooth device settings problems and

    I recently bought a laptop computer Lenovo ideapad Y530 and a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000.  I can't mouse to be recognized by the application of Bluetooth device.  I can go into the control panel and I see the icon of Bluetooth device.  I can click on it, but I can't select device settings.  When I click on device settings it is just and do not return the user interface.  Also when I followed some of the suggestions in the other forums on enter the services.msc look for Bluetooth Support to ensure that it is on, that service does not appear on my list to select.  Also, it does not find the device mouse even when it is in pairing mode.

    This icon does not appear on the status bar at the bottom of the screen with the other icons either.  The WLAN icon is there but not the Bluetooth.  Is there a way for me to check to make sure that the Bluetooth is actually being run and get the mouse to work?  I have Windows VISTA with service Pack 2 on the laptop.

    Hi POW2,.

    This is the site you can download the software/driver for your mouse.   There are two 5000 mouse listed, I don't know which is yours.  Do a test to see if the problem will be solved.

  • How to share computer laptop computer wifi laptop bluetooth that can use internet with Bluetooth?

    Hello

    I want to share my laptop wifi with computer laptop bluetooth, how to share?

    I need now

    Please help me...

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query on the Microsoft Community.

    According to the description, I understand that you want to share mobile Wi - Fi.

    I would like to know some information.

    1. What is the brand and model of your two laptops?

    2. The other laptop only has a Bluetooth but no Wi - Fi?

    I wish to inform you that unfortunately, you can not use Bluetooth to connect to the internet. You must have a wireless PCI card.

    Wi-Fi connections can reach a distance more than the alternative wireless listed above. Many newer computers, especially laptops, now contain integrated Wi - Fi capabilities makes it the first choice in most situations. A Wi - Fi connection can be used with or without a device on the network. With two computers, Wi - Fi networks under a luminaire (also calledad-hoc mode) are particularly simple to implement.

    Bluetooth technology supports wireless reasonably high speed between two computers without the need for a network device. Bluetooth is more commonly used when the network to a computer with a consumption as a handheld device phone cell. Most desktop computers and most do not have the Bluetooth capability. Bluetooth works best if both devices are in the same room in close proximity to each other. Consider the Bluetooth if you have interest in networking with handheld devices and your lack of computers of the Wi - Fi capabilities.

  • HP Envy 13 laptop: Bluetooth doesn't work is not on the HP Envy 13 laptop

    Good afternoon

    I recently bought a laptop from HP Envy 13-d004a and could not get working Bluetooth.

    Without wireless/bluetooth adapter is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265.

    Bluetooth is not listed in the page menu settings/Windows device.

    There is no Bluetooth device listed in Device Manager.

    There is an unknown USB device (device descriptor request failed) listed under Bus USB controllers I think it is perhaps related to the problem. The State of this poster features 43 code.

    So far, I tried to uninstall and reinstall the USB devices and update drivers for USB devices. However, the USB device is unknown, with a warning on the icon symbol.

    I also downloaded the latest Intel Bluetooth driver update utility. When I run the installer, or the repair, I get the message

    "Intel Bluetooth Service (ibtsiva.exe) could not be installed. Make sure you have sufficient privileges. ». I am connected with administrator privileges when I run the installation program.

    So far all my attempts to solve the problem of Bluetooth failed, would be more appreciated all the help I get.

    Thank you

    Bluetooth problem has now been resolved on my HP Envy 13-d004na notebook.

    Tonight a Synaptics SMBus driver has been downloaded and installed via Windows Update.

    After the installation of this driver, I restarted the computer.

    After restarting Bluetooth appeared in Device Manager and peripheral USB unknown displayed previously had disappeared from the Device Manager. I tested Bluetooth connectivity and am now able to pair with my Bluetooth mouse.

    Surprised, but very happy that the problem has been resolved and that the laptop now seems to be fully functional.

    Thanks again for your help.

    Hello:

    Here is the link to the page of specifications of product for your laptop.

    It does not come with built-in bluetooth networking, or this feature would have been listed with 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 wireless WLAN connectivity Specifications.

    The best thing you can do would be to buy an external USB bluetooth adapter.

    You can also try and replace the Board with one of those enrolled in the service manual for your laptop that is also a map without combination wire/bluetooth internal wireless.

    The card must be listed in the service manual and it should have the part number HP on it or it won't work.

    Because your notebook has an AMD processor, you can not install all Intel if one wireless cards any are listed in the manual.
