Windows 10: No bluetooth drivers after Windows 11 update

I updated to Windows 11 in December then randomly in February none of my Bluetooth devices would connect. After looking at the device manager no Bluetooth drivers were shown. I went to the manufacturer to try and update any drivers and none were available for Windows 11 only Windows 10 for my model. After attempting reboots and trying to install drivers for similar models no change. It has become frustrating to spend several months looking for a solution when my devices worked wonderfully prior to the update.
