Latest Windows 11 Update Delete My Bluetooth Software

Hello, 

I have a Dell Inspiron 17 laptop.

I have just updated the latest Windows 11 dated September 8. All of a sudden, my Bluetooth was not working anyway. I checked what software was affected by the update, it showed the Bluetooth software was removed. I tried to install the software again via Dell website and restarted, still no Bluetooth. In the Settings, Bluetooth was not shown so I cannot turn it on.

What can I do to get Bluetooth back ?

 

Any suggestions and comments are much appreciated. 

 

Thank you.

    I did a System Restore but it said it wasn't completed successfully and after my laptop restarted, the Bluetooth app all of a sudden came back and now it's back to normal. Very strange indeed.
