Product: Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 15-fa0000 (680A7AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
Hi,
My Bluetooth functionality keeps disappearing. When I check the driver it says code 45 but my laptop has always had Bluetooth capabilities before this. I have tried lots of things already.
Uninstalling and reinstalling, uninstalling and restarting my laptop and the troubleshooter doesn't pick it up because it tells me that I don't have Bluetooth installed.
Sometimes these do work, but within a couple of days this problem as recurred and I have to go through the trouble of trying all of these things again until something works.
Would greatly appreciate some new advice.
Thank you
