Bluetooth Stopped being Detected today after System Update
Hi, Bluetooth stopped working on my PC after system update. Wifi is working though, so I'm assuming the antenna should still be working, bluetooth is the only thing no longer detected now.
Motherboard:
ASUS ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi AMD AM5 B850 Mini-ITX mITX Motherboard
Is there anything I could try or simply rollback?

Using the antenna attachment for the back of mobo, worked yesterday and WiFi is detected, just not the Bluetooth

Mine also stopped working, kinda figured it would since another distro stopped working the other day and I went back to bazzite/bluefin for it to work.
My board bluetooth comes from:
Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7925 (RZ717) Wi-Fi 7 160MHz
My board is an AsRock B850 LiveMixer WiFi
I found a stackoverflow thread that had an answer, but it was something weird like fully shutting down the machine and removing AC power, basically a 1990s reboot + avoiding certain kernel versionsCurrently rebasing to stable 41 to see if I can get it back up again
Thanks for your reply. I think mine is the same Bluetooth controller.
Freddy, this seems to be similar stuff: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2249404
I’m going to try what users here suggested, many thanks for the link
Users claimed it was a weird thing to do, but effective; figured worth a shot

the quote at the bottom is the bit about rebooting. I am going to try this now on this system and see, be back soon!
Same! Trying it now. Another user in #🎮bazzite also mentioned doing this too

OK, reboot, power, it back!
Soo I think i had sleep on by default, so perhaps suspend/resume is breaking it?
Confirming that my Bluetooth now shows up, it worked! Now my internet does not, but it hat might be a me issue
EDIT: all is fixed now
Thank you for linking that!
No problem. Now I wonder if we can contribute something back so nobody runs into this.

What were the steps yall used to fix this issue? I have the same network controller. Restarting and power cycling the psu didn't work for me
Can confirm this does work. Had same issue, bluetooth broke after latest update, wifi still worked fine. Power cycling worked like a charm!
Yeah, I ran into this again today, seems like I really need to cut the power for a while to get the wifi card to reset itself or something.
