BT adapter can't be powered on from gui

After every boot up process Bt adapter stays powered off and couldn’t be powered on from gui. I need to power on by giving the command power on several times under bluetoothctl.

Is there a solution for this?

This is likely a side effect of dual booting with Windows. Be sure you disable fastboot in Windows and your BIOS. Disable all WIFI/BT power saving advanced settings in your adapters entry in Windows Device Manager.

Never warm boot from Windows into Linux. Always power down completely before booting Linux.

There is no dual boot but fastboot may be active. I will check, thanx

Unfortunately no.
