After 2 weeks the bluetooth just disappeared on my pc and I,ve tried updating my drivers and I've tried going into the device manager and I've tried going into services and making bluetooth automatic but when i troubleshoot it it still says that there's no bluetooth capabilities...

Any help on the matter would be much appreciated
 
Solution
Do you still have the WI-FI Working and have you checked the Bios settings as it can be turned off via the Bios.

So easy fix has been found turn off PC and unplug PSU and wait 10 minutes Hold down Power button on PC for 10 seconds during the 10 minute power off, Plug back in and turn on PSU and boot Bluetooth should now be back
Test Post Feb 20 2025. Test to see if I can post in forums as I am unable to update my profile. Please say hello if you can read this.
Ok post worked thanks.
May need to wait 24 hours before updating Profile if changes were made
 
I've wasted a lot of time dealing with this issue. My finding is that Mediatek RZ series wifi/bt combo adapters (like RZ608) typically supplied with AMD motherboard platforms either have a high defect rate or the driver/firmware is unpolished. The reason why removing power from the system for a few seconds works to make the device function again is because these devices run on standby +5V current over USB, which means under default BIOS settings the device will be on and stuck in its malfunctioning state even if the system is powered off. I have found no permanent fix. The RZ608 on my motherboard continues to crash frequently despite downloading the latest drivers from Mediatek themselves (not motherboard vendor), and it's not an OS issue. BT is just as dead under a Linux distro as in Windows. I'm just going to get an add-in card with an Intel chipset, and avoid buying any products with Mediatek radios in them in the future.

You can allways try different vendor Wifi/BT card from ebay and replace original. Intel BE200 NGW as example, have both latest Wifi 7 and BT 5.4, cost about 20-25 bucks.
