Windows 10: Network Adapter and Bluetooth not working after latest Windows10 update 2nd week March 2023

Windows10 latest update, no Wifi connection. Restarted still no connection. Followed troubleshooter prompts managed to uninstall network adapter driver. Bluetooth also gone? Currently USB tethered to mobile phone to scour for help online. In Device manager I can find Bluetooth as it was hidden but there is no Driver tab, only scan for hardware changes. I do that and only get a quick dialogue box then nothing. I've got a triangle next to IntelR Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz. Search for driver update and says the most recent are already installed. I don't have recovery enabled and cannot find a rollbac

Bluetooth and Network Adapters

Ever since Build 10041 of Windows 10, I've had trouble getting onto the Internet and staying there . . . it was a virtual impossibility!

Yesterday, after advice and help from many here, I went into Device Manager for the umpteenth time to see if I could update my network drivers. Windows told me I had the latest and greatest and things were running smoothly. NOT!

Anyway, I noticed that Bluetooth had the yellow splat on it. So, I right clicked and then clicked on Update Driver Software. DM promptly went out and got new drivers for it!

Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)

Whatever those are, after updating Bluetooth, they showed up in my Network Adapters and now I am able to get onto the Internet and stay there!





I am going to give feedback on this because it may be helpful to someone else.
