I purchased a Gigabyte AORUS WBAX200 network card some time ago. The Wi-Fi functions perfectly at the rated speeds, and Bluetooth also works well...until I restarted the system. In short, Bluetooth stops functioning every time Windows starts. The only solution is to open the BT driver installer and run "repair," which temporarily fixes it until the next reboot. It's quite frustrating, anyone know what might be causing this issue? Windows displays a generic "driver issue" error without more information.

What hardware are you employing? Ideally should be able to obtain the AX200 drivers straight from Intel. If those present problems, it’s likely a faulty card. I owned a TP-Link AX200 PCIe card that experienced similar reliability concerns; I returned it and received an Intel AX200 M.2 kit, which has functioned perfectly since.
