Try these steps in order for Windows 11 when Bluetooth is on but the Bluetooth icon is missing:

Check that Bluetooth is turned on.
- Select Start > Settings > Bluetooth & devices.
- Make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- Bluetooth can also be turned on from Quick settings by selecting the Network, Sound, or Battery icons on the right side of the taskbar, then selecting Bluetooth.
Run the Bluetooth troubleshooter.
- Go to Start > Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
- Next to Bluetooth, select Run and follow the instructions.
Update the Bluetooth driver.
- Open Device Manager.
- Expand Bluetooth.
- Right-click the Bluetooth adapter and select Update driver.
- Select Search automatically for drivers.
- Restart the PC after the update.
If the Bluetooth icon is still missing, reinstall the Bluetooth adapter.
- Open Device Manager.
- Expand Bluetooth.
- Right-click the Bluetooth adapter and select Uninstall device.
- Shut down the PC, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on.
- Windows should reinstall the driver automatically.
- If it does not, in Device Manager select Action > Scan for hardware changes.
If Windows cannot find a newer driver or Bluetooth still does not appear, install the latest Bluetooth driver from the PC manufacturer’s support website, then restart the PC.

If Bluetooth does not appear in Settings or Device Manager, first confirm the PC model supports Bluetooth.
