(TP Link TX3000E PCIe AX3000 card) Intel Bluetooth drivers break after restarting Win11 PC

Every time I restart my Windows 11 Pro PC and launch Windows the Bluetooth icon is nowhere to be found in the system tray of the taskbar, no devices will connect through bluetooth, and the Intel Bluetooth driver has an error icon next to it in Device Manager.

 

The only way I can get the bluetooth driver to work again is either disabling the device completely in device manager, but sometimes that doesn't even work and I have to click "update driver" and manually select one "from a list" of drivers already on my PC.

 

This has been going on for ages now and I've tried manually deleting all of the Intel Bluetooth drivers and installing the latest Intel Bluetooth Proset package. As well as using the Intel Driver And Support Assistant to install/update the driver. But to no avail. It always eventually breaks somehow.

 

I had a minor success deleting all of the Intel Bluetooth Drivers from the c:/Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository folder(which was a whole learning experience for me to even get access to the ability to delete them), and then manually installing the latest Intel driver package. It was still working after restarting for a while. But then eventually(potentially after a Windows update) the issue came back.

 

Which is extremely strange since I have Windows Update's settings set to not download drivers. I even enabled the Windows Group Policy to "do not include drivers with Windows Update" as I saw suggested somewhere. So I don't understand how updating Windows would cause this issue to come back.

 

I'm out of ideas, and it's annoying having to deal with this issue every time I restart my PC as I use a Bluetooth Keyboard. Thus I have to pull up the On-Screen Keyboard from the accessibility options to type my password in using my mouse just to even log into my Windows account before I can get the Bluetooth working again and use my actual keyboard.

 

If anyone can help me get this fixed without wiping my whole PC, I'd appreciate it so much.
