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.

Acer Nitro AN515-54

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
Go to dell support site, you'll find most of the drivers
@Royricky09 ok i finally managed to get my Xbox controller to work again for my PC; all I had to do was remove the hidden BT drivers associated with it in Device Manager

i tried the same for my Anker Soundcore Life Q30 headphones, but my PC still remembers it wtf
@Royricky09 ok after purging all hidden Bluetooth drivers that had error messages in driver details, I finally got my headphones to work again for my PC
@uikakarotuevegeta cheers 🥂
