Are you sure that your PC does support Bluetooth? and you have used it on this computer before? because sometimes you have to buy an external Bluetooth adaptor and hook it up to your PC in order to get Bluetooth benefits. Anyways if you don’t know how to check that here is how you can check if you PC supports Bluetooth: How to Check If Your PC Supports Bluetooth on Windows

If you have an external Bluetooth adaptor you will have to plug it in and click “Scan for Hardware Changes”. If that doesn’t work it might be a glitch restart your computer and it should be reinstalled.

Try performing an In-Place upgrade and check if that fixes your issue. Also, try to install the exact Bluetooth drivers for your adapter and then check if that fixes your issue.
