Bluetooth stopped working with last Windows 10 update (running in bootcamp OS 10.13.1)

[GordR]

HI All: I've been using bootcamp for several years to use a program only available for the MS operating system. Up until I updated Windows 10 this morning, my bluetooth devices all worked fine. After this morning's update, the devices show but bluetooth is shown as "turned off". Problem is that the locations MS say the BT on/off switch is not there. I'm using a 2018 MBP 15". Anyone have a solution?

Many thanks, Gord

I'm not using BootCamp, I use VMWare Fusion Player 13 with Windows 10. I have a Bluetooth icon in the system tray. If you click on the icon there are options available.

Did you see if there are any driver updates from Apple?

After using Boot Camp Assistant to install or upgrade Microsoft Windows on your Mac, you might also need to install the latest Windows support software (drivers) from Apple.

Thanks for this. Finally had time to attempt to work through all the updates yesterday, which I finally completed but with no success, the Bluetooth radio appears to be rendered invisible by either a Windows update or Mac. So, will be giving VMWare Fusion Player 10 as I have a legal copy of Win 10 should work I hope. Thanks again, I do appreciate your time on this. Cheers, Gord

A familiar situation. For this I read some tech guides and finally solved this issue. First of all make sure your Windows 10 installation is up to date. Sometimes, new updates may fix Bluetooth-related issues. You can also try resetting the Bluetooth settings to their default state.
Go to the "Settings" app, select "Devices," and then "Bluetooth & other devices." Under the "Related settings" section, click on "More Bluetooth options." In the Bluetooth settings window, go to the "Options" tab, and click on "Reset."

Open Services.msc in Windows and make sure the BlueTooth Support Service is set to Automatic and started.
