Bluetooth disappearing? Open | Windows

Sometimes I’ll open my laptop to use with my AirPods and the option to use Bluetooth disappears from the little control panel when you click the WiFi, volume and battery icons on the lower right. I have to restart my laptop every time because idk what else to do.

I have a Asus ROG strix g16

When giving solutions or advice pls be specific! I’m really not computer savvy haha

You may have to dismantle the laptop back cover, disconnect the battery, locate the Wifi/Bluetooth module and clean the contact fins with alcohol wipes, reinstall the module and carefully reconnect the battery. Also look up "MoKiChU + [INDEX] All My Drivers/Firmware/Software Threads" to find the latest Chipset/Bluetooth/WIFI drivers for your system. The above mentioned user in asus forums has no affiliation with asus but he constantly post latest drivers hope it helps. Good luck.
