I have recently bought a new HP laptop, and it cam with the 8265ngw Dual Band wifi-bluetooth combo chip installed. It initially worked, but has since stopped working. I had to re-install Windows, as the installed OS was in Chinese, which I do not speak. Once I installed the operating system, I had a lot of issues with the system consistently crashing - BSOD bug check code 239, after the 1803 build was installed. This has (finally!) been sorted - there was yet another Windows update(!), and things have since stabilised.
However, through all of this, I have had great wifi connectivity, but no bluetooth. In the Device Manager, there is no bluetooth showing (not even as a hidden item), and no unknown devices. Opening up services.msc shows that Bluetooth services are running and set to do so automatically. I have downloaded the drivers direct from the Intel website, still no bluetooth. I asked the Intel website Driver and Support Assistant to check the system, it correctly identified the wifi chipset, and declared the drivers 'up-to-date'.
Any other thoughts / ideas I can try to get bluetooth working again?
Thanks
