Bluetooth Settings Option Disappeared

I'm in the beta update channel, so glitches are expected, but I haven't seen any mention of this specific issue. After updating, the bluetooth settings menu is just gone. I can still connect to items in desktop mode, so the hardware is fine. Any suggestions to get this back?

It looks like the error occurs after sleep if it has a device connected before.
I usually set the steam deck to sleep after that and turn off my Bluetooth headphones.

Sometimes, in my next use of the deck after that, my Bluetooth meu is missing.

That happens in settings and 3dots menu.

After reboot, the bluetooth is back.

I keep having this issue when I go to work (no public wifi there): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3348947452

I am on the stable update channel as well, so this issue is now in-escapable.

Hey ! same issue here, after sleep if it has a device connected before. It’s really frustrating. Restarting the Steam Deck seems to bring it back, but it’s an annoying workaround.

I have been powering down my Steam Deck fully as opposed to using the sleep function. I am on the LCD model, how about you?
