Hi

How to activate bluetooth on my venue 8 with windows 10?

If you have the drivers installed, an option will show up in Settings > Devices

Ok, I can't find any Bluetooth what so ever :-(
I assumed that it would be a part of the windows 10 installation but apparently it is not.
Do you know where to find the correct driver and information about how to install it?

Well, there is a WiFi -Bluetooth Driver listed in the Dell Updates section.

i had this issue with my dell inspiron today and i went to device manager (right-click windows icon>device manager) go down to universal bus controllers and check if you see (bth ds3 service) or similar then right-click>Update Driver Software>Search automatically for updated software. in my case it found the correct driver and after that i saw bluetooth again in my settings. hope this helps.

I went to dell download and found the driver together with some other recomended updates.
Now all works just fine

In the device manager, you can uninstall the Bluetooth driver (choose option to remove from computer, or something to that affect). Then do a scan for new hardware. That's all I had to do, Bluetooth picked up immediately after that. Pretty stupid problem to have, but you can get through it.
