Windows 10 Update: Bluetooth is gone Windows 10 Update: Bluetooth is gone

updated a few mins ago to I think Version 21H2 and my bluetooth was wiped.

Bluetooth troubleshooter says "Bluetooth is not available on this device. Please try using an external adapter to add Bluetooth capability to this computer"

Bluetooth & Other Devices says "Bluetooth is turned off" and there's no toggle to actually turn it on

Device Manager has no Bluetooth icon available.

I'd post screenshots but I cant because I dont have a functional keyboard due to lack of bluetooth (typing this from my phone).

My comp booted weird when I first updated: Only the mouse icon showed up on an otherwise black screen, had to press the power button for a few seconds to restart.

Only bluetooth seems affected.

Any thoughts? Appeciate any help!

Seems like reinstalling the drivers is the best bet but also seems like finding the correct drivers is not trivial.

Have a custom built computer, can provide a list of components if needed.

When I have a driver problem, I install Iobit driver booster, run it once, and uninstall it again.

Found a few solutions in these links. The 2nd link relates to the prior 21H1 update, but it looks like several users found that turning off "fast startup" in power options fixed their problem. Good luck.
