I have a wireless/BlueTooth PCIe card (Qualcomm Atheros AR5BWB222) in my computer but only the wireless part is enabled. I got the drivers and installed them, but nothing changed. I searched for it in Devices in the Windows 10 settings and BlueTooth wasn't listed.
So I replaced the with a Atheros AR5B97 wireless/bluetooth chip. I've concluded that I DO infact have the driver, I just can't seem to enable it.

If the issue persists, I suggest you to check the status of Bluetooth service on the computer.

I suggest you to start the Bluetooth service and set it to Automatic:
a. Go to the Start screen.

b. In the Control Panel search box, type Bluetooth, and then click Change Bluetooth settings.
c. In theBluetooth Settings dialog box, click the Options tab and do any of the following:

To be notified when a Bluetooth enabled device is trying to connect to your computer, select the check box for Alert me when a new Bluetooth device wants to connect.

You must have the usb header cable to power the Bluetooth. Which should have come with hardware. You see that plug in socket on the card. The cable plugs into it and your motherboard. Just google wireless adapters with Bluetooth function to see what it looks like. The pci express slot can only power 1 device. you have to have the bluetooth cable to power the Bluetooth. I found that out doing research online when i had the same problem. just getting the cable was impossible for me. Just buy another card and make sure the Bluetooth cable is included.
