“Check Bluetooth radio status” Not Fixed Before moving on with the solutions to fix the Bluetooth radio, check if rolling back the Bluetooth driver sorts out the problem. Moreover, make sure the airplane mode of your system is disabled (if using a Wi-Fi connection). Also, during the troubleshooting process, whenever you successfully connect a Bluetooth device to your system, then, in the Devices and Printers window, right-click on the Bluetooth device and choose Properties. Then, in the Services tab, make sure all the services are enabled.
Solution 1: Add the Bluetooth Device Through Devices and Printers
The Bluetooth device may show the issue at hand if you are trying to add the device through the Bluetooth icon in the system’s tray (and an OS glitch is stopping the execution of the process). The glitch may get cleared if the Bluetooth device is added through the Control Panel.
Solution 2: Update the Windows and Drivers of Your System to the Latest Releases
The Bluetooth issue may emerge as a result of an outdated version of the system’s Windows and its device drivers (as it may create the incompatibility between the essential OS modules). In this case, updating the OS and system drivers (especially, the Bluetooth driver) may solve the problem.
Solution 3: Reinstall the Bluetooth Driver
You may encounter the Check Radio Status issue if the Bluetooth driver of your system is corrupt. In this context, reinstalling the Bluetooth driver may solve the problem. If the issue persists, then check if uninstalling the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers (some Wi-Fi chips support both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth operations like some Qualcomm adapters, which can hinder the operation of the other Bluetooth modules and cause the issue). Now reboot your system and then just install the Bluetooth driver (if the generic drive did not work) to check if that solves the issue. If so, then install the updated version of the Wi-Fi driver.
Solution 4: Delete the Phantom USB Entries in the Device Manager and Power Off/On Your System
The issue may arise if a phantom Bluetooth device entry in the Device Manager is hindering the operation of the communication modules of your system. In this scenario, deleting the phantom USB entries from the Device Manager and powering off/on your system may solve the problem.
Solution 5: Disable / Enable the Bluetooth Device and its Services
The Bluetooth Check Radio Status issue may be caused by a glitch between the Bluetooth device and essential OS modules. In this context, disabling/enabling the Bluetooth device and starting its services may solve the problem. The instructions slightly differ for some users depending on the OEM.
Enable the Bluetooth Services
Disable / Enable Bluetooth in BIOS
Solution 6: Update the BIOS of Your System to the Latest Build and Reset it to Factory Defaults
The Bluetooth Check Radio Statue message may be shown by the troubleshooter if the BIOS of your is not updated to the latest build which may cause incompatibility between the OS modules. In this case, updating the BIOS of your system to the latest version released by the OEM may solve the problem. Warning: Advance with extreme caution and at your own risk as updating the system BIOS is a proficient task and if done wrong, you may brick your system and cause everlasting damage to your data. If the issue persists, then check if creating a new local administrator account and using Bluetooth through that account sorts out the problem. If that did not do the trick, then you may reset your PC to the factory defaults (selecting Keep Apps and Files option).
