Answer 1

✅ Step 1: Check If Bluetooth Is Actually Installed

1. Press Windows + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter – this opens Device Manager.

2. Look for Bluetooth in the list.

   • If it's there, expand it and see if anything has a yellow warning icon.

   • If it’s missing, it could mean the driver isn't installed or Bluetooth is disabled in BIOS.
