I'm really at my wit's end here. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Bluetooth drivers from Realtek, Intel, Gigabyte—literally everywhere—and nothing seems to work. The Bluetooth is there, it shows up in settings, but it can't find any devices. This includes printers, headsets, phones, controllers—nothing at all. The issue started after I reinstalled Windows, and before that, everything was functioning perfectly with my Gigabyte B650 AX motherboard. Is there any way to fix this? I've tried everything I can think of!

Have you tried the classic solution of turning it off and on again? Might sound cliché, but it often helps!
You might want to check if you need to update your BIOS. Sometimes that can resolve hardware recognition issues post-reinstallation.
Also, is your PC a desktop? If so, make sure that the Bluetooth antenna is connected properly. It's easy to miss those.
What worked for me was going to the Gigabyte support page and downloading the Bluetooth driver directly. Other users mentioned that sometimes they had to install it multiple times before it worked, but it did resolve their issues.
It seems like it could be a hardware issue. Have you checked if your motherboard specifically supports Bluetooth? Sometimes it's a setting or a compatibility issue that gets overlooked.
I've done that a thousand times!
