I want to disable Bluetooth on my laptop running Windows 10 Pro x64, but I have a problem: the option to do so is missing even though I know that it was previously available.
Here is the Bluetooth settings pages should look like on Windows 10:
Here is how it looks for me:
As you can see, I am missing the switch to turn it on or off? Why is it missing? I know that just yesterday, it was available and I turned it off. What can I do to fix it?

[TD="class: comment-text"]Laptops usually have a keyboard shortcut to enable/disable bluetooth? –

I found a solution that seems to work for me.
1.) Uninstall everything that is Bluetooth-related that is listed in Programs & Features.
2.) Uninstall all Bluetooth-related drivers listed in the Device Manager.
3.) Restart the computer. Bluetooth will be reinstalled, and you can reinstall the programs that you removed from Programs & Features.
