It is very common to encounter the Bluetooth error “Bluetooth device not found. Please verify that your Bluetooth device is properly connected and turned on” and the error “Bluetooth cannot start, Hardware not found”. When you see these two messages on your screen, your Windows operating system will not be able to identify the Bluetooth device connected to your device successfully.

To solve the Bluetooth hardware not found issues, you can try the following solutions:

Solution One: Troubleshoot Bluetooth Device Drivers Errors with Device Manager

Step 1: Open “Device Manager”.

Step 2: Click on “Bluetooth”.

Step 3: Choose the properties of the first entry (usually a wireless bluetooth module).

Step 4: Click on “Power Management”.

Step 5: Uncheck “turn off device to save power”.

Now your Bluetooth should be founded, if not, please try the second solution to update your Bluetooth drivers.
