The Bluetooth icon in the taskbar can be used to quickly connect to the devices. I accidentally remove the icon and couldn’t find any option in the taskbar settings to bring it back. This is how to fix the problem when the Bluetooth icon is not showing in the taskbar or notification area on Windows 10. My computer doesn’t have built-in Bluetooth but I am using a Bluetooth dongle. But, this method will also work for built-in bluetooth as well.
