UPDATE Problem not solved.
Bluetooth is removed everytime device was in hybrid standby.
Important:
The device is really completely invisible for the operating system. It is not only deactivated.
Fortune game:
Maybe you can uninstall the device driver reboot the device and then reinstall the device driver to get bluetooth back working for one session until your device enters hybrid standby again …
