Try with a cold boot.
If it is an external USB adaper, try also unplugging and plugging it back.
Also, make sure fast boot is disabled in the BIOS.

I tried cold boot and the live usb, without success...
Bluetooth device is on the Motherboard, also tried all options in bios, weird thing is that the onboard WIFI works just fine.

Bluetooth "disappearing" isn't the first time it has been commentated on in this forum (multiple times). Suggest you do a thorough search here and the web. Oftentimes it originates in the BIOS hardware detection module..

I've had it happen to me.

Yeah Ive tried all solutions I found here before posting, nothing worked....
Okay will search further online =)

All solutions is a bit too much :wink:... And vague...
For example have you tried different kernels to rule out a regression in the latest one?

Yes Ive tried all options in Garuda bootmenu including LTS. Im pretty sure the issue occurred going to Zen 6.xx from 5.xx tho

I couldn´t figure it out...
So I installed Widows 10, did all the updates and got the Bluetooth working, only to install Garuda after that, now everything works great!
It is not the first time I´ve used a Win install to reset bios hehehe

May all those involved with M$ burn in hell!

This is not meant in a bad way, there is no hell :grin:

I mark it solved :slight_smile:

You may find a Windows update disables your bluetooth again at some point in the future. Sometimes it's difficult to keep BT working if Windows has infested your machine.

Be sure you have all bios settings in place for Linux compatibility.

Make sure all networking components are enabled in your bios.

Be sure secure boot and fast boot are disabled.

Disable all network adapter's power saving options in Windows device manager's advanced properties tabs.

If all else fails and Windows appropriates your network adapter and won't let go, try a full power down and remove all power sources for at least 5 minutes. If you continue having problems enabling BT/Wifi then try resetting your bios back to the factory defaults. After doing a factory reset you will again need to change the relevant bios settings for good Linux compatibility.

Check on all above! Not a trace left of mine unfaithful sidestep :wink:
