'Bluetooth is not available on this device…'
Of course, I've already gone through the all motions, uninstalling and reinstalling the Bluetooth driver, going through the Services app and restarting all the Bluetooth-related drivers, and deleting a corrupted USB-related driver – not to mention, RESTARTING MY LAPTOP AFTER EVERY SINGLE STEP . So, it’s not exactly as if that alone kissed the boo-boo and made it all better.
Still, I wouldn’t have guessed that to be the fix had I not done a bit more digging. And, none of those things I just mentioned worked anyway, until I turned off Fast Startup, which was likely enabled during the update. There are articles dating back to 2017 about how Fast Startup can cause issues ranging from difficulty installing Windows updates to not being able to access BIOS settings, and how to disable it.
But clearly, it hasn’t been working well, and the fact that an update might enable it without your knowledge is infuriating. Even more unbelievable is that it’s still causing issues, and Microsoft hasn’t bothered fixing it . I’m not going to list all the reasons why you should disable Fast Startup on your computer – that’s another article for another day. Just do yourself a favor, spare yourself the pain, and do it. It might even be the right solution to other random Windows issues you'll encounter in the future.
