Windows 10: Bluetooth Missing Send A File, Receive A File Menus

 
You all are aware of the functioning of the Bluetooth. You can easily move files via Bluetooth from one device to another Bluetooth compatible device. My personal experience is very bad in connection with Bluetooth. Many times, I had faced transfer problems in Bluetooth. After a small research, I found out that the problem in the transaction might be because of the old Bluetooth driver running on my PC. But my last problem with Bluetooth was totally different.

I was facing problem in sending and receiving the files through Bluetooth wizard. Bluetooth icon is very much present on the Notification Area of the Taskbar. So when you right click on it, among many options, send a file and receive a file are the two main options required for a successful transaction. And, unfortunately, Bluetooth Missing Send A File, Receive A File Menus in my Windows 10 laptop. Well, you can repair this problem by updating the Bluetooth driver or reinstalling it. In case, both the methods do not work for you, you can try the below method.Bluetooth Missing Send A File, Receive A File Menus

Love to play with Windows 11 and 10. Suggestion - Going for Registry change or system files edit then remember to take a backup or create a restore point before Starting.

  1. It worked! I can’t believe it. I install/uninstall my drivers. Update them. Restart for infinity of times. I tried cmd> fsquirt.exe -register voila but it disappears at the restart. Nothing works than this!. Thanks so much 😀

  2. The above instructions fixed my ASUS Q551 Laptop on Windows 8.1 from missing the ‘Receive A File’ and ‘Send A File’ menu options. I tried everything else, a new wifi card, updated Bios and reinstalling Bluetooth Drivers.

    THANK YOU!

  3. I really do appreciate this help after spending so much time surfing the net without positive result. It worked like a magic. THANK YOU.

    Also I need help removing an irritating Bluetooth FTP icon under my Device and Drive. I don’t know what its function there.

    This was so very very useful. Windows 10 just could not find out the problem with its troubleshooter and reinstalling/updating drivers using the Device Manager was a waste of time.

    This completely solved the problem and now I can use bluetooth again on my Windows 10 machine. Thanks.
