Bluetooth not available in Catalina

Hi there,


ever since I updated my MacBook Pro to Catalina 10.15 I'm having Bluetooth issues.

There are a lot of suggestions on the internet to tackle the issue, but none seem to work. I've even reinstalled Catalina completely, to no effect.


I got it going again briefly when updating to 10.15.2 but i lost Bluetooth again after a few days. Wifi seems out as well.


Thanks for any advice,

Tom

Weirdest thing: still no Bluetooth, until my mouse batteries ran low.


The alert somehow triggered the Bluetooth to be discovered. Bluetooth menu is available again, and the OS finds the card in the system report.


I'll see if rebooting kills Bluetooth again later :)
