I have no fucking clue which older version of the BT drivers I had; all I know is I gotta go to Acer's website and find the older drivers for my specific laptop and reinstall them.

UPDATE: I managed to delete some files with the guidance of ChatGPT (GPT4 Omni) and finally Device Manager shows the Bluetooth drivers being corrupted, when before it never did (neither did sfc/scannow show anything was broken either). I uninstalled and reinstalled the Bluetooth Intel driver and it's supposedly working again, but now Bluetooth (Personal Area Network #5) is broken, with the following error message:
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
Object Name not found.
UPDATE: I tried to go into Device & Printers via Control Panel to get my headphones and gamepad removed from it, but they can't be removed from there either nor in Windows 11 BT settings.
UPDATE: Some other command prompt stuff later and I made the yellow triangle and error message go away...but I still can't connect my Bluetooth devices to my laptop. I tried going to Safe Mode and attempted to remove the Bluetooth devices that were paired there...sadly they were also greyed out. At this point, I think my only options are reinstall Windows 11, delete registry keys, or wait for Intel to release a new BT driver that hopefully fixes this shit.
UPDATE: Finally resolved it by deleting all hidden Bluetooth drivers that were corrupted, along with drivers referencing my headphones and gamepad specifically in Device Manager
