Windows 10: wifi and bluetooth icon not present in windows 11

hey,Can someone explain why my Wifi and Bluetooth icon is not present?I tried using the troubleshooter, which told me to reset the network settings, but that didn't work.I have updated and restarted my laptop several times but it still didn't do anything.Although the laptop connects using ethernet and it works fine, the icon still doesn't appear even when connected to ethernet.I have no idea what else to do to fix this.

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

Bluetooth in windows 10

My computer specs are as listed in the profile. I think all of you guys are correct. I don't have built-in Bluetooth in mobo.

I contacted skull candy headphones and thy have told me if I do not have built-in Bluetooth, I would need a dongle which supports at least a2dp. I do not know what the heck that means. I have a feeling I would need more than a cheap dongle.

Anyone suggest some a2dp adapters. I searched but don't know what a2dp is so couldn't make a decision
