    I disabled one of my bluetooth adapters in device manager and as soon as i hit ok it dissapeared, is there a way to enable it again? I disabled it to allow use of mousepad and mouse

    lol I've definitely tried show hidden devices. Nothing has worked. The device won't show up on the list and I can't find it.

    Code:
    set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
    devmgmt.msc
    Then select show hidden devices and you'll see everything, including devices previously attached.
