Windows 10: Bluetooth no longer detected on PC

Ive used the same wifi/Bluetooth card on my pc for the past 4 months. however my friend and i both noticed that our pc's all of a sudden say that we dont have Bluetooth adapters in our pc's. we believe this might be a result of a recent update for windows. the services.msc shows that the bluetooth support services is running, but it wont detect the card that was working just a few days ago

Bluetooth no longer detected under Windows 10

I do have USB dongle but it doesn't work well (especially when I connect PS4 connectors it lags at times in multiplayer). I'll only use it if this next step fails too.
Alright, I read a bit more and supposedly one antenna carries wifi and bluetooth signals and the other carries only wifi. If one antenna is somehow problematic, COULD it lead to these issues? I'm gonna try swapping the main and aux connectors and see if it makes any difference for a week or more.
Attached is the layout of my laptop with the red ink being the ends of the antennas. I'm thinking of getting new ones but I have no idea what the copper tape seems to be for nor what the mini pcb looking card is. I've found two designs, one of which seems to resemble mine. Obviously I'll only buy it if the experiment works but can anyone share any insight about these antennas? They're MHF4.
