why is my Bluetooth icon missing

[poppedcurve]

how can I bring it back

Have you checked Device Manager for the presence of Bluetooth? Having absolutely no information about your computer [System Specs] can't result in possible suggestions.

If your Bluetooth is disabled then do the following to enable it.
Uninstall the device from device manager and restart Bluetooth service.
Start > services.msc
Right-click "Bluetooth Support Service."
Choose Automatic.
Go to device manager and right-click on your computer name and click "Scan for hardware changes"
Install the Bluetooth device drivers from the manufacturer's website, if any.

If the device isn’t showing under device manager or under show hidden devices then shutdown the pc, unplug the power cable & then reconnect, then go to device manager & see if there’s any unknown devices showing, if so uninstall this & then scan for hardware changes & hopefully Bluetooth will reappear.

I hope this helps.

I had the same problem recently. I read somewhere to go into the 'old' Security Panel and check Bluetooth in that. I saw it had (somehow) been turned off. I turned it on, and wah-laa, the Bluetooth icon was back in Quick Settings, Settings, and Device Manager.
