I wanted to disable and enable the bluetooth adapter. So in the system tray I clicked on the Bluetooth icon and in the menu choose for "Turn Adapter Off". I am not sure what happened next but the result was that the bluetooth adapter was no longer showing in the system tray nor the Network settings. So there is no way to enable it again.
I tried reinstalling the drivers but nothing changed. It only told me the drivers were already installed and if I would want to repair or remove them. I tried repairing… nothing. I tried removing and reinstalling… nothing.
Then I went to services and noticed that "Intel Bluetooth Service" was disabled while this was normally enabled. I tried to manually enable the service but it got immediately shut down giving a message that this might happen because it might be in use by other services.
How can I get the bluetooth system tray icon back? and how can I enable the Bluetooth services again? Help is highly appreciated.

Go to Control panel and then devices then you can see your bluetooth adapter. Open it then tick on " lets find other device this computer" and then apply. Now you can connect any bluetooth device to your pc/laptop.
