Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 Bluetooth issue.

[MBene4]

I have recently installed an Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 adapter card onto my PC (Motherboard is a Gigabyte H170TN, i5-7500T, 16GB ram, Windows 10 ver. 1809) and while the wifi works and the device manager shows me that Bluetooth is turned on (as does the trouble shooter) it cannot find any devices nor can my phone find it.

Suggestions?

Thanks for the response Warren.

Services have been stopped and re-started.

Version of driver is 20.110.1.

I have tried installing an older driver (20.90.0) and the newer one (20.110.3) but neither takes. (tried both manual and using the support assistant)
