I noticed the system BIOS updated itself recently from 1.1.12 to 1.1.13. Then I found my bluetooth kbd and mouse not working anymore. I reinstalled Qualcomm Wifi/bluetooth driver. No use. Device manager does not see any bluetooth adapter.
I downloaded the previous version of the BIOS 1.1.12 and reinstalled it. Still not seeing bluetooth adapter in device manager. More that the system insisted on upgrading BIOS to latest 1.1.13.
Does anybody have the same problems, bluetooth disappearing? It happened between 3/26 to 3/27. It was working and suddenly not working any more.
Used the link above and followed the instruction from the original problem post. It suddenly came back with the bluetooth adapter as the following stated:
I shutdown the XPS 8930, unplugged the power cord for a few minutes, then powered it back on. I then went to Device Manager and uninstalled the Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed). When I then did a Scan for Hardware Changes, the Bluetooth appeared in Device Manager. This resolved the issue.
I powered off XPS and unplugged the power cord for a couple minutes. Then put it back and powered on. Opened Device Manager. Bluetooth adapter came back!
here is the order of failures... generic. I dont have full spec on any of these and most OEMs docs stinks here.
battery dead inside keyboard, #1 all time most likely.
USB port dead or stuck in sleep mode, bad drivers. NO OS told w10 -64bit?
Bluetooth driver wrong. (missing or corrupted or not for your OS>)
some of these KBD have addresses, the better ones for say office with 100 PCs, close and they would fail.
so.... this must be reset if you get that wrong, RTM, the read the manual on your PC KBD.
Bluetooth as a link storage place inside it, this allows fast reconnects ( A BT feature prime!) but can be reset an forced to relearn the KBD connection, again RTM. (read how to reset this )
I'd kick it to the curb and use USB wired, no desktop ever needs wireless keyboards, ever, but gee...
and last most BT have short range so if you are using 200inch TV on HDMI with you 25ft away on sofa with bluetooth failing ,DANG. really? I can't see you so,,, wow, what you have there I can never guess, at all.
Yeah, I had the exact same problem at the exact same time. The provided solution, unplugging and then uninstalling the unknown USB device, worked for me. Prior to that I could not scan for new hardware, but after following the directions I could do that and Bluetooth "came back".
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!! This worked. My bluetooth disappeared AND my internet got VERY slow to non-working. This has fixed BOTH problems.
My bluetooth just mysteriously disappeared on 5/12/2020. I added nothing and downloaded nothing that i know of. The provided solution, unplugging and then uninstalling the unknown USB device, worked for me.
After hours searching for the resolution to bring back Bluetooth to my Dell XPS 8930, this solved it. The issue was created when I used the USB to charge my Bose headphones. This is an obvious bug that should, be addressed by Dell. Love the computer but would not have expected a simple USB charge to create a Bluetooth problem.
