Windows 10: I deleted my wifi and bluetooth on device managers

Hello! My laptop is Acer Swift 1, Intel, Windows 11. My wifi and bluetooth icons were missing, also on settings. It happened before but I managed to fix it, tho I can't remember it now. I tried to do the service.msc? thing but still nothing, I reset the network and still nothing. Now, I tried to uninstall the bluetooth and wifi on device manager and restart the laptop based on what I've searched. However, it still didn't work, now my wifi and bluetooth are missing in device manager even if I clicked the show hidden or show hardware changes. What should I do? Thank you!

Deleted all of Bluetooth in Device Manager

Those should have been the drivers for the model you listed.
Open device manager and see if they are there.
As for turning on go to the notifications box (Far right on the task bar) click on the bluetooth symbol.



If not there, right click choose edit and add it

 

Deleted all of Bluetooth in Device Manager

Did you mean that the BT entry in Device manager is hidden?There should be a Bluetooth section within which your Bluetooth adapter should be identified by name [Intel, in my case]. Here's an example.


If the adapter entry is 'hidden', it means that Device manager no longer detects its presence.My own Device manager no longer greys out 'hidden' devices so I have to set-unset the Show hidden devices entry to check which are 'hidden' and which are not.
I suggest you -
1 Check in your Bios for any enable/disable setting for it.
2 Get your Service manual and check the hardware itself [post #9].

I'd still like to know exactly what you did.
