Bluetooth stopped working

[gorisivu]

Hi, today my Bluetooth suddenly turned off on my acer laptop, when I tried turning it back on there was no on/off button in settings. I already tried several methods of fixing this issue, such as updating Bluetooth in device manager, which did not work. fervermore, to access Bluetooth in device manager I needed to show all hidden devices and I can't troubleshoot my laptop. what should I do? pleas help.

If you create a Live USB of Linux and boot into that, does Linux recognise Bluetooth, or is it disabled there as well?

 

EDIT: I ask because I had a similar issue with my audio devices. Despite trying to update the drivers, Windows insisted the device didn't work. When I booted into Linux it recognised the speakers straight away. It helped me figure out that the problem was software related, not hardware related.
