Windows 10: Why did bluetooth just completely disappear from my pc?

When my USB ports suddenly stopped working, i restarted my PC, only for my bluetooth to completely disappear right after. Here's all the things I tried from those indian support videos on youtube:-Restart my PC have done that maybe 6 times by now-try to enable it via quick actions wasn't there-try to enable it via settings the switch was gone-Troubleshoot bluetooth it claims ive never had bluetooth in the first place-Try to restart it via services gives a vague error when I click APPLY, and turns itself off again-Open it manually via fsquirt.exe this doesn't seem to do anything rela

Bluetooth disappeared

Hi,

This error may be caused by a corrupted Bluetooth driver in your device. To help you fix this, go to Device Manager
to ensure that you have the latest Bluetooth driver installed on your PC.

• Type Device Manager in the search box on the taskbar. Click it from the list of results, and then expand
  Bluetooth.
• Right-click the Bluetooth radio, then select Properties.
  Select Driver tab then click on Update Driver.

In case that Windows doesn't find a new driver, you can check the manufacturer's website and follow the instructions there.

After updating your drivers, you will need to pair again your Bluetooth headphones on your PC.

You can follow the steps in this
article for a step-by-step guide on how to connect your Bluetooth device.

Let us know how it goes.
