In Windows 10, you can use Bluetooth to connect to headphones, webcams, and speakers, or send files and folders to other local devices. So it's inconvenient when the Bluetooth button disappears from the Action Center.
Even if Bluetooth is working properly, it may still be missing from Action Center due to incorrect settings. Another reason why Bluetooth doesn't show up in Action Center is because your system doesn't recognize Bluetooth devices.
Thankfully, there are ways to restore the Bluetooth button to the Windows 10 Action Center when it is lost or damaged.
1. Editing the Quick Actions menu
The Action Center menu is made up of two parts. At the top, it shows notifications from your installed apps and system.
At the bottom is the Quick Actions menu, which contains shortcuts to key settings. When there are a lot of notifications that Windows 10 needs to show, it collapses the Quick Actions menu to save space. To check all the shortcuts available in the Action Center menu, click Expand.
Because not all shortcuts are enabled by default, Bluetooth may not appear in Action Center, or perhaps you accidentally disabled Bluetooth shortcuts. Whatever the reason, here's how to solve it:
Step 1: Open Action Center by pressing Windows + A, then select Manage notifications from the right top menu.
Step 2: Click Edit your quick actions. this action will open Action Center menu.
B3: Select Add > Bluetooth > Done.

Note: When edit mode is on, you can move the tiles around as you like. If you want the Bluetooth tile to be part of the collapse menu, move it to the top row.
2. Check if your device supports Bluetooth
If you don't have the option to add Bluetooth to Action Center's quick list, it's likely that your Bluetooth driver is missing or your device doesn't support Bluetooth. Here's how you can check if Bluetooth is properly supported and configured on your device:
Step 1: Press Windows + I to open Settings, then go to Devices.
Step 2: If the Bluetooth & otherapps menu is displayed, your device supports Bluetooth technology.

Step 4: Check if there is a Bluetooth menu inside the list of available devices.
