I've been on Windows 11 Insider for three months without big issues until recently. I reinstalled Windows 11 using the release build. Since I've never installed drivers before, I only used the manufacturer's USB recovery drive to reinstall. I downloaded the files thinking they were .exe files, but they turned out to be .zip. Now I'm unsure how to install them because the Device Manager doesn't provide clear details about which device it is. Most functions seem normal, but Bluetooth isn't working as the troubleshooter claims incompatibility—though I've been using BT headsets, so it shouldn't be the case.

That's the initial action I took—they have .cmd, .txt, step info files, and more.

Open the laptop web page, save all necessary drivers, extract files and execute setup.exe, installer.exe or the corresponding .msi file.
