Bluetooth disappears from Windows 11 (laptop) after pairing with new device

Hello

I have had no problems with Bluetooth on Windows 11 22H2 previously on this specific laptop.

Recently however I had tried to add my new Logitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard. Upon pairing with it, after a few minutes, the following was observed:

• Bluetooth ON-OFF button/option was not visible on the action center
  
• Bluetooth ON-OFF button/option was not visible in the settings app
  
• Bluetooth was not visible on Device manager (even under hidden devices)
  

I had tried the following but failed.

• Restarting windows.
  
• Troubleshooting via settings app
  
• Trying to add legacy device through device manager
  
• Checking for updates but none were available at the time
  
• Uninstalling some updates whichever was visible inside the settings app.
  
• Resetting windows but with the option of keeping my data
  
• tried to install the respective drivers from the logitech website
  
• tinkering with services in windows
  

Only upon resetting my laptop with the option of NOT keeping my data that I was able to see the Bluetooth button in action center, settings, etc.

Please suggest some suggestion as to what can be done. Much appreciated. Thank you.
