Windows 10: How do I recover wifi and bluetooth after Windows 11 upgrade has removed it?

Following an upgrade to Windows 11, I have lost the option to connect to wifi or use bluetooth. When running the troubleshooting tool, it states that the 'ethernet cable isn't plugged in'.Windows 11 has effectively just turned my laptop into a brick.

Windows 11 Bluetooth and WiFi have disappeared

Hi,

I have an MSI P65 8RD running on Windows 11 22H2.

A few weeks ago, Bluetooth started having issues. The icon disappeared from the bottom tray and Bluetooth only connects with my mouse. I cannot make it connect with Bluetooth headphones it had been paired with. Bluetooth is not listed in the device manager (I checked hidden items). The Bluetooth support service is however running.

And last week, I lost the WiFi icon and connectivity. The Intel wireless AC 9560 adapter is listed in the device manager, but cannot start (code 10). Disabling and re-enabling for a few seconds appears to work, but ultimately results in the same failed operation. I tried updating the driver from Intel's website, but that didn't help. I do have ethernet connectivity. WiFi does appear in the device manager (but fails to function). In services, WLAN autoconfig is running, but I cannot get Wireless PAN DHCP server to start (error 1067 - process terminated unexpectedly).

Both Bluetooth and WiFi do NOT appear in regular settings.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stijn

 

Streaming music on bluetooth disconnects wifi


Having upgraded form 8.1 to Windows 10 I now find that streaming music on bluetooth disconnects wifi. It does this every time within a few minuets. (Bluetooth and Adapter drivers are up to date.) I have changed the virgin super hub from channel 1 to 12 but problem remains)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
