Hi everyone, I started my PC today running Windows 11 and Bluetooth is missing completely. Normally it connects automatically when I power on or I manually pair it through the desktop control panel. The Bluetooth icon is gone now, and I’m unsure how to restore it. I’ve tried resetting, restarting, and unplugging it, but nothing works. Checked the Device Manager, it’s hidden in the ‘hidden devices’ list. I found a Reddit thread about this issue, but the solutions don’t seem to help for my setup. Any advice would be really useful!

Have you checked if the device is powered on and off? In Windows settings, look for a Bluetooth option and try toggling it. (You might need to find the Bluetooth settings in Windows 11 since you're using the Control Panel on Windows 10.)

I also attempted to power down the system and verified by disconnecting it for a while that Bluetooth should reappear. The issue persists. In settings, adding a device now triggers a warning (refer to attached picture). I've tried updating Windows, though it's already current. Checked the Device Manager but found no Bluetooth entry, even after enabling hidden devices.
