Hi, I've exaclty the same problem and I was sure that before Win 1803 update Bluetooth working. I'm sure because outside my office (I'm a developer) I use a Logitech Bluetooth mouse that actually I can't find (none devices where found during scan process, no smartphone, no smartwatch, nothing).
I tried the ON/OFF Bluetooth switch in bios as suggested in other DELL posts but not working for me.
DELL please: any solution?

Same issue here. XPS 9560 isnt finding any bluetooth devices anymore since 1803 Windows Update. Reinstalled the Kiler drivers did nothing.
Is this a joke? No word from Dell so far? Dont all owners of a 9560 have the issue?

solution of this issue is "format and reinstall the windows" everything works very well after that.

In the Bios (F2 from power off or restart) I had to change the boot up speed from "Minimal" to "Full", which i think are the devices its starting. I apologize in advanced I'm not sure of the menu this was under but the bluetooth devices are finally back.

This Bluetooth issue happens so often to me as well. No matter how I try(driver, bios update), it continuously occur again. As the best product in Dell Line up, Dell shouldn't let this issue last like this. If I go back to one year ago, I would never purchase this Dell product again.

DrJo has the proper solution - just go search for "add and remove programs", and then search for "WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software or WIDCOMM Bluetooth Driver" and then just reboot as suggested. Afterwards the bluetooth works perfectly - although in my case i had some devices occur twice, but both worked.

I had the same problem. My Bluetooth would die for no reason leaving me keyboard and mouseless. The imminent fix to get Bluetooth working again was to poweroff the laptop and disable and re-enable the Bluetooth device in BIOS. That worked for a couple hours maybe a day. Then I was back to rebooting and going into the BIOS. I have a long-term workaround/fix, which is to disable management for the Bluetooth device.
Todo this:
- open "Device Manager"
- Select "Bluetooth" on the device tree
- find the "Qualcomm Atheros ..." Bluetooth controller
- double click on "Qualcomm Atheros ..." device
- select "Power Management" tab
- uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

I have an XPS 15 9550, two Bluetooth headsets suddenly stopped working. I tried all solutions posted in this board and here https://www.dell.com/community/Laptops-General/Dell-XPS-15-9550-Bluetooth-Problems/td-p/4694493
I also tried uninstalling WiFi, Audio and Bluetooth drivers, installing from scratch using Dell and Intel assistants.
I disabled/enabled Bluetooth from BIOS.
SOLUTION:
https://www.dell.com/community/XPS/Unable-to-start-the-bluetooth-stack-service/td-p/5764595
Uninstall WIDCOMM Bluetooth Software or WIDCOMM Bluetooth Driver. This must be done via Uninstall or change program from Windows.
After this solution the bluetooth headsets work better than before because additional Hands Free drivers are installed per device.
