Can't turn on Bluetooth, Bluetooth adapter disappeared both in Device Manager and the Hidden Devices in Device Manager

Hi all,

My PC has been working fine before, but decided to act up today. Out of a sudden, my bluetooth is turned off, and there is no option to turn it back on. I tried reinstalling the drivers, remove, and repair, but it did not help. 

The Bluetooth Adapter is still not showing up in my Device Manager, even when I select to show Hidden Devices.

Now I am stuck, unable to connect to my speakers, controllers, and keyboard. Gotta quickly find a wired keyboard just to type this. On a side note, WiFi is working fine too.

Mainboard is a Gigabyte Aorus B550i, installed both bluetooth drivers from Gigabyte and from Intel, didn't help. Bluetooth adapter is an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200.

Please help :(

    I did that previously and it didn't work.

    I had to disable to power saving for the Realtek 2.5G LAN chip.

    I've updated my previous comment and listed out the steps i took to solve it.

    How long did that last by doing the pull the power plug etc. Mine lasted an hour, my PC went to sleep and when awoke my Bluetooth is totally missing from Device Manager not even showing in hidden devices. Sadly I just did a PC reset and now I'm not only at the same spot but I have to download GIGS of data on my metered connection. 

    I have the Gigabyte Aorus B550i mITX board, I updated the BIOS to the latest F11d which I wished I wouldn't have cause my Bluetooth did work in the previous F1 Bios the board shipped with.
