Can't connect to Bluetooth

[Vidco]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 1)]Hi


Suddenly my Bluetooth stopped working. I go to Bluetooth & other devices to connect to my paired devices, but it says Bluetooth is turned off, and the Connect option is grayed out, and there is even no turn Bluetooth on / off button:[/COLOR]






If I click on Add Bluetooth or other device at the top, I get a Couldn't connect error message:




I following the Get more help with Bluetooth problems link, and I tried everything it suggests:

- Make sure Bluetooth is turned on:

Bluetooth is not present in the Action Center even though the action center is expanded:



And as you can see in the above picture, Airplane mode is off.


- Run the troubleshooter:

The Bluetooth trouble shooter says Bluetooth is not available on this device:




Then I go to device manager, and look for Bluetooth, but it's missing unless I press View > Show hidden files, then it appears but with all the Bluetooth items grayed out:




I tried updating the driver for Intel Wireless Bluetooth, but it says that I have the most recent version:




I also tried downloading the newest drivers from Intel for my Intel Wireless-AC 9260, but when I'm about to install it, it shows that it's the same version that I already have:




Lastly, I checked if the Bluetooth Support Service is running, and found out that it is:





Other solutions on the web included looking for an "Unknown USB device" under Universal Serial Bus controllers and uninstalling it, but I don't have that under my devices:





What else can I try in order to fix this?


I have a Dell XPS 7590 laptop, Windows 10, and
