    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

    Wifi adapter disappears - goes 'hidden'


    Running Windows 10 on an Acer laptop. Over the past month, the wifi connection dropped without explanation/warning.

    First time, the adapter was visible in Device Manager (with a yellow triangle next to it). An interent search found the suggestion to uninstall it and restart. That worked.

    Today, the connection dropped again. In Device Manager at first I could not see the wifi adapter listed. I clicked to see hidden devices and found the adapter and the Bluetooth (which I had not noticed was missing).

    I again uninstalled, restarted, and both the wifi and bluetooth have returned.

    Anyone any ideas as to what is happening, why it's happening, and what I need to do, please?

    I have attached a screenshot of the DM windows as it is now, showing the wifi adapter name, etc.

    Thanks very much

    WG

    Hi Jenny,

    We appreciate you for being a part of Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.


    • Did you checked whether the Bluetooth device is listed under hidden devices in Device manager?

    • Have you checked whether the Bluetooth driver is listed under installed programs under Programs and features? (As you have reinstalled the Bluetooth.)

    • Does the Bluetooth disappeared after you have started to use Wacom Bluetooth keyboard?
    Note:


    • In device manager, click on "view" tab and select "show hidden devices" and check whether Bluetooth device/driver is listed.

    • To check the drivers installed in Programs and features, Press
      Windows + X keys on the keyboard and select Programs and features and check whether the Bluetooth driver is installed.

      and start it

      set the startup type as Automatic.
    Step 2:

    Follow the steps to run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter and check if you are able to fix the issue.

      Control Panel

      Control Panel.

    • Click on View all on the left navigation pane.

    • Click on Hardware and devices.

    • Click on Advanced on the Hardware and devices
      dialog box and click on Run as administrator (Enter the credentials if required).

    • Click on Next and follow onscreen instruction complete the
