Windows 10: My Wifi and Bluetooth Buttons keep disappearing, and it is starting to get annoying! Please...

Hi,I have faced Multiple Wifi issues. It randomly drops the connection at times, and sometimes the Wifi and Bluetooth buttons disappear entirely! And this is definitely not the first time I have tried resetting my network settings to factory settings, Restored the BIOS to its previous configuration, Tried the network troubleshooter which just says you are not connected to the internet. Tried going to Device manager>Show hidden devices and uninstalling the network driver - which worked for a while. Then today this happens!Tried calling local Asus support, and no one picked up.

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

 

Start button disappears from taskbar.

@Marvin Bar,

Hi,

I previously tried all of those suggestions listed in your link without any success. I retried them again and this time the start button did not disappear. To further find out if the problem was solved, I put my computer to sleep overnight instead of turning
it off. When I woke it up this morning, the start button was still there, and five hours later, it's still there, so I think the problem is solved. Thanks for your reply.
