I just updated my laptop to Windows 11, and Bluetooth cannot be turned on. After running diagnostics, it says Bluetooth is not supported on it, while it woked perfectly on windows 10. How do I get it to work? There's not even a toggle for bluetooth on/off.
Check with your computer maker to see if there is an windows 11 version of the bluetooth driver

I had a similar issue. What I did was I check my device manager and discovered an external USB device I had installed some time ago was what triggered the missing Bluetooth. I just had to uninstall and remove the USB device driver completely from my PC and my Bluetooth came back

Try run Windows Update and download and install all updates.
Open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
Try visit your device's manufacturer website and download and install the latest Bluetooth driver.
Hi there,
If you recently upgraded to Windows 11 or installed Windows 11 updates, the current driver may have been designed for an earlier version of Windows. To automatically check for driver updates:
Select Search on the taskbar, search for Device Manager, and then select Device Manager from the list of results.
In Device Manager, select Bluetooth, and then select the Bluetooth adapter name, which may include the word “radio.”
Press and hold (or right-click) the Bluetooth adapter, and then select Update driver > Search automatically for updated driver software. Follow the steps, then select Close.
After installing the updated driver, select the Start button, select Power > Restart if you're prompted to restart, and then check whether that fixes the connection issue.
