Here is the steps I took to try and get it working again. Now all of a sudden it will not work nor will a new replacement card work. Up to the first of this year my WiFi card has been working fine. I am running Windows 10 on a Dell Studio laptop and have been doing so since Sept. Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN adapter not working in Windows 10 I do not have any bluetooth related drivers in device manager to manipulate any longer. If there is an answer out there I would be grateful for any assistance. Something changed and I haven't had time to try and troubleshoot it. The BIOS states that bluetooth is enabled and it was working 6 months ago connecting to my Samsung sound bar. The computer performance, storage and operating system run flawlessly and am not in a position nor do I wish to purchase another computer simply for bluetooth connectivity. As a disabled person with 25+ IT technical support experience I found their support insulting and demeaning.
Dell support simply told me to buy a new computer. Microsoft continues to report that I have the best driver installed and will not load the driver I have from Dell. I have tried numerous times to update the driver to no avail. The Intel Wifi adapter apparently manages both Wifi and Bluetooth. I am running Windows 10 64 on a Dell Studio 1745.
