    no toggle, no Bluetooth category in Device Manager, nothing in Settings 🤷 my a speaker worked fine yesterday. the update hisotry shows a driver update from ASRock. ive already tried Scan for hardware changes. is the radio disabled somewhere, or did teh driver break it? i also tried turning ariplane mode on and off, and checked whehter some hotkey had disabled the radio. nothing obvious. id ratehr fix this properly than live without my a speaker.
