I had a similar experiences on windows 10 via an HP laptop (admittedly old).I accidentally clicked airplane mode and turned off wifi and bluetooth. When I turned AM off, neither wifi nor bluetooth would work. I had to reboot.When I rebooted, I clicked the notifications icon in the tray and turned wifi on and that worked fine. I then clicked the bluetooth tile, and it only briefly highlighted and stayed dim.
This made me think bluetooth was not working. However, when I turnedon my bluetooth mouse, it worked. I was also able to add a bluetooth device through the add device option in settings.Long story short, bluetooth was working, but settings was indicating it was off. After reading the issue here and replies below it, I decided to check in services. Sure enough, a service had become disabled and thus would not run. The binding of issac mods.
I went to the servicespanel, and re-enabled (automatic) that particular service, and voila, bluetooth still works & I'm now able to toggle bluetooth on in settings so that it both looks 'on' and shows the connected devices.So my overall recommendation is to go to service and find any Bluetooth services not running and start them. You may find one or more that are disabled and need to enable them first. The one that was disabled on my Hp laptop was named 'Bluetooth Driver ManagementSystem.' If any of this issue is bug related, it may be that this particular service does not turn back on when airplane mode is activated and re-activated.
