I noticed that Bluetooth has completely vanished from my device manager after the last Windows 11 update, even when I try to view hidden devices. I would really appreciate any advice or assistance on this! Here are my system specifications:
- Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700 CPU @ 3.00GHz (3.00 GHz)
- RAM: 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable)
- System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor. Thanks in advance!

Yikes! Losing Bluetooth can be frustrating. A good first step is to double-check if all your drivers are up to date. Sometimes after an update, drivers can get a bit wonky. You can go into Device Manager and see if the Bluetooth option shows up again.

I actually did a system restore and managed to get Bluetooth back, but I still can't turn it on. Do you think it would help to update the motherboard BIOS?
