Windows 10: The option to turn on/off bluetooth is gone in windows 11

Troubleshooting it says "Bluetooth is not available on this device"

:)

 

Turned off bluetooth, now the button is gone.

I bought a Bluetooth dongle (ZEXMTE), worked as I needed, but then I turn off Bluetooth under devices, and now I cannot get it to turn back on.








Ive ran the troubleshooter
The device shows up under device manager (when I unplug and plug it in, it plays the noise but doesnt flash anymore)
Ive tried reinstalling the driver
Made sure Bluetooth services are running

Also tried these steps:
No button for bluetooth in action center - Windows 10 Forums
blutooth not turning on in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community

So I went into the device manager, right clicked, uninstalled the device. When I plugged it back it in, voila its working again.

 

Turn On or Off Bluetooth in Windows 10  

Yes, Shawn, but only insofar as immediate effect (the button became unlit and the text on it greyed out). After making that observation, without re-enabling Bluetooth in device manager, I rebooted. Upon reboot, I find that:

• The Bluetooth button in Action center is once again lit,
• but "Bluetooth" is gone from the Devices menu, and
• Right clicking Bluetooth in Device Manager, presents "Enable" as an option (implying it is indeed disabled).

 

Bluetooth Device is removed from Network Adapters when Bluetooth is turned on - Windows 11

I have a new laptop with Windows 11, and the behavior for the Bluetooth Network Adapter is not behaving as expected.

The issue is:

"In order to disable the Bluetooth Device from the Device Manager, the Bluetooth needs to be turned OFF to display the device in the list of Network Adapter."

Is this a bug?

On the Windows 11 system I have, the Bluetooth Device will only display in the list of Network Adapters when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and OFF.

The Bluetooth option was working correctly, the Bluetooth option is available in the Settings and turned ON.

When I opened the Device Manager, the Bluetooth Device was not listed in the Device Manager under Network Adapters.

The Bluetooth option is still available in the Settings allowing me to change the Bluetooth OFF and ON.

When I go to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth OFF, the Device Manager is updated and the Bluetooth Device is now displayed in the list of Network Adapters.

If I return to the Settings and turn the Bluetooth ON, the Network Adapter for the Bluetooth Device is removed from the list of Network Adapters again.

This was not the behavior I expected. I get the same results using the Bluetooth ON/OFF or the Airplane Mode settings for the Bluetooth ON/OFF.

Basically, when the Bluetooth Device is ENABLED and ON, it is NOT displaying in the list of Adapters.

The Bluetooth needs to be ENABLED and OFF in order to locate the Network Adapter in the Device Manager.

The Bluetooth Device itself is working correctly; however the device is not listed in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, ON, and working.

Is this a bug? This is only occurring on my Windows 11 laptop. The Windows 10 displays the Bluetooth Device in the Device Manager when it is ENABLED, and does not change if the Bluetooth Device is switched ON or OFF .

Thank you in Advance.
