Windows 10 – Option to Turn Bluetooth On or Off is Missing

bluetoothwindows 10

I want to disable Bluetooth on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64, but I have a problem: the option to do so is missing even though I know that it was previously available.

Here is the Bluetooth settings pages should look like on Windows 10:

Bluetooth Settings Page - Windows 10

Here is how it looks for me:

As you can see, I am missing the switch to turn it on or off? Why is it missing? I know that just yesterday, it was available and I turned it off. What can I do to fix it?
