  • 1. Yes I have that installed. 2. I said on my post that both the tray icon AND the Settings option went missing. Meaning, it's completely inaccessible for me. 3. I have logged out and restarted countless times

  • I don't have a blank icon forBluetooth, there's no "gap" between where it used to be. It's completely unavailable.

I figured it out!

I totally ruled this out because I didn't think it would be at all related but when I turned off my WiFi (because I moved to a wired connection) it disabled Bluetooth along with it. I enabled WiFi again and restarted and Bluetooth is back.
