Windows 10: Bluetooth gone from my laptop after update driver is missing, not working even after...

Bluetooth completelyy gone

Missing Bluetooth Driver

Early today my Bluetooth suddenly disappeared, so I went through some steps to try and fix it. I did the following:

- Changed the Bluetooth Support Service to automatically startup.

- Bluetooth troubleshot, which simply said Bluetooth was not a feature on my system, despite it working a few hours earlier.

- I scanned the drivers for updates, which they said they all were.

- And finally, I try uninstalling and reinstalling the Bluetooth driver. However, the driver has not automatically reinstalled like the tutorial said it would. I have restarted, scanned for changes, scanned for updates, and it is simply gone.

Am I missing a step, all the "official" Bluetooth drivers seem like they originate from sketchy sites and I don't want to download malware or something similar.
