troubleshoot Bluetooth functionality gone Win 11

[UmbreonMax_HD]

Ever since the last few updates have been installed (Windows 11), my bluetooth functionality has completely vanished. Even installing the new Intel wifi drivers hasn't done anything. I keep all other things up-to-date as well, so I'm lost. Windows Troubleshoot also doesn't even find it

 

OS: Windows 11 Pro

MB: MSI MPG B550 Gaming Carbon WiFi

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

BIOS Version 1.70

Have you tried to install the Bluetooth Driver for your Motherboard? If not try this: https://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/mb/bt_driver_W11.zip

I haven't considered that yet. Could you walk me through that real quick? I haven't ever worked with that yet, so I don't know which folder to open and stuff

So about the file you attached, my installed drivers are apparently newer, so I can't proceed

Unzip the archive, then open the Folder called: "BlueTooth Driver-22.80.1.1" then open the "Win10" Folder and double click on "Intel Bluetooth.msi"

I found something on the Internet that could help:

This is incredible...
My BT device just vanished overnight on my B550 Gaming Edge and I spent about two hours debugging, reinstalling drivers, digging through bios etc.
Then I found this answer, shut down my pc and pulled the power cord and immediately heard a faint sound out of my bt speaker (that was off btw). Turn the pc on again and the bluetooth device is back.
Super weird stuff, but big thanks.
