Hey there, I just finished a fresh Windows 10 setup with my SSD formatted during the reinstall. After that, I upgraded straight to Windows 11. While installing some updates, I tried connecting my earphones and noticed something odd—Windows didn’t show the Bluetooth toggle at all. The device manager listed: image.png.161259cb7aacc180bece4346550b0e2e.png. I attempted driver updates, turned them on and off, even uninstalled and reinstalled after deleting and rebooting. Windows just installed the driver without prompting. After updating my BIOS to the latest stable version, I refreshed my GPU and CPU drivers. The only thing that stands out is I unplugged my HDD after shutting down the PC and plugged it back in while running Windows 11. CPU: 7600x GPU: Radeon RX7900xt RAM: Ripjaw S5 32 GIGS MB: ASRock B650e Steel-legend DRIVE: Samsung 980 pro 1tb – some 2tb HDD as a backup. I recall having Bluetooth issues in Windows 10 a few months ago and forgot the fix. I ran the Windows Troubleshooter, but it only detected one Bluetooth radio and said it wasn’t missing. It seems like I’m stuck—any advice would be greatly appreciated.
