No visible Bluetooth device in Device Manager

Hi all

I have recently installed Windows 8 on my Dell inspiron 1545. Windows 8 seems to work well, but it is not able to detect any bluetooth device. I use many operating systems and I am able to use the bluetooth on other OS device.

I can not even find even a hint of bluetooth on my computer. I don't see any icon, "on-off" option in "Edit pc settings" or "bluetooth devices" in the "Device Manager".

I tried to install the driver from dell for windows 7, but did not work. (technical support dell does not have a driver for windows 8).

I couldn't find any "unknown devices" in Device Manager.

  • Realtek NIC does not show in the Device Manager - until a hardware scan is done

    A few months ago, I purchased a dv6 3240us and not downgraded to XP Pro win7 no problem, everything has been installed - everything I tried worked fine without any problem at all. I do not use this computer on the Internet - but I got the opportunity to connect the NETWORK card to a piece of equipment, I was working on that. When I went to change the IP address of the laptop - no local NIC (supposed to be Realtek) present in the Device Manager.  I installed the driver when I went down to XP without error.  I can only see the wireless adapter and it also shows on the system tray. When I right click on network adapters in Manager devices and do a scan for the hardware - the Realtek card is? and now everything works fine until I stop, then I have to go the process again. I watched the Realtek driver and he says its all working properly - any suggestions?

    Hello:

    I'm not familiar with the BIOS settings too consumer laptop, but see if there is a setting for a LAN Power Save Mode - maybe in the configuration menu of the device.

    On HP Business laptops, there is such a context, and the default value is enabled. What is this setting is to remove the wired NETWORK card at least that the PC is plugged in and connected to a LAN cable. This saves battery power.

    They also have a LAN/WLAN definition switch that disables the NETWORK adapter when the other is in use. For example, if I plug a wire to my Wired NETWORK card, my wireless NETWORK card is automatically disabled.

    If you have such a LAN Power Save setting, turn it off, and your NETWORK card must always be visible in Device Manager.

    Hello:

    See if the installation of the HP wireless assistant software allows to turn on the bluetooth radio using the software.

    This package contains the HP Wireless Assistant for the notebook models and operating systems. The HP wireless Assistant is an application of the user that indicates the status of the individual devices (such as Bluetooth, WLAN or WWAN devices) wireless and offers the possibility to control the radios for these wireless devices.

    File name: sp49018.exe

    Then you can uninstall it once you have enabled the BT if you wish (recommended).

    I didn't have this problem when I installed the latest version of the W10 on my 6930p last month.

    I just started to check.

    Hello

    I just reinstalled windows 7 64 bit on my HP G6-1184SA.

    I managed to get all the other drivers to work from the Drivers HP section on the Web site.

    However I have a problem with drivers Bluetooth.

    • It does not appear in Device Manager.
    • It is obviously not working and I don't even know how I get it to the settings to find/installation/use.
    • I tried all the drivers Bluetooth 4 under my driver on HP product page. (2 of the drivers made me have BSOD and I got in safe mode to remove).

    So basically, I want to get the Bluetooth on my laptop at work - there is no key on the keyboard or button to activate it - but I know there are as I've used it before you reinstall the operating system.
