Hello CMari9, Thank you for posting on the Intel ® communities. I will need more information of the problem, I would like to know the update you did before the Bluetooth* failed. Did you update it via Windows* udpdate? Or perhaps you downloaded the update from Intel's side. Let me know please, also, please tell me exactly what you mean with "The Bluetooth* is gone", are you unable to scan or is the option of Bluetooth not present anymore? If possible, please take a screenshot of the device manager so I can have a look at the options there. Also, I would like to request an System Support Utility report, this report can be generated from our tool, you can refer to the link below so you can download it:  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25293/Intel-System-Support-Utility-for-Windows- Make sure to attach the created report to this thread.

Hello Chaeril, When restarting the computer not necessarily services that are running in the background will be restarted as well, sometimes they need to be restarted manually. It could have been that when the driver was installed, the Bluetooth* service was turned off by the operating system and by restarting the service it started working properly and recognizing the devices. I am really glad to know that your Bluetooth* is working again! Let me know if you need any more assistance. Hello BStev3, Thank you for your input.
