On Windows 10, when trying to click “Add Bluetooth or other device,” nothing happened and no new window opened, even though Bluetooth was enabled.
I discovered a fix for this issue. It seems connected to another problem where icons like battery, network, sound, clock, or notifications didn’t show anything. Fixing that also resolved the original issue. Here’s what to do:
- Right-click the Windows icon in the lower-left corner
- Choose Windows PowerShell (Admin)
- Execute the command
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Running it may show that not all updates are possible because some apps are in use, but the fix should work.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Good luck with your solution, though please note that what you've done might not be required if your operating system was in good condition.
I'll keep an eye on the rest of your platform in case further problems occur. It would also be wise to have a bootable USB installer ready for your OS, ensuring you're using the latest BIOS and backing up all essential data.
