I have Aspire M5-481PT. It had Bluetooth in it. Now i could not find it on device manager. I even tried reinstalling the driver software but that didn't work. So, any solutions for this issue?

    Did you upgrade to Windows 10? Update your bios to the latest.

    Yes i did but it was working fine till last week suddenly it stopped working and vanished from device manager as well. I have BIOS version 2.11 installed. I checked acer website and found version 2.22 but it says "Not for upgrades". m5 bios.PNG

    It was not for upgrade for Windows 7. I think with Windows 10 you are past Windows 8.

    Do you have a UEFI bios or are you running Windows 10 in Legacy Bios? If you are, you can't install a UEFI bios update. It wouldn't work anyway.

    Uninstall the Bluetooth in Control Panel/ Programs and Features and reboot. Maybe Windows 10 will install a driver that will work.
