Bluetooth is broken after latest Zorin Pro update

Hi, I made the switch to ZorinOS last week because bluetooth worked flawlessly on the usb live session. It continued working just fine after I installed it.

Until yesterday, when I updated my computer and all of a sudden bluetooth had become an unreliable mess for me. It began with random disconnections and weird delays sometimes, and now I am unable to connect any device.

I am using the integrated bluetooth device of my motherboard (Asus strix B450i). I would like to attach some other relevant information about my computer, or the issue, but I don't really know what commands to put on my terminal to do it so. Thanks in advance for your help.

usually lspci is enough info to give with hardware issues, or lsusb if it's a usb device

either way, can you check what Kernel version you are running? (uname -r)

Alright, let me paste here the outputs of lspci :

uh, I can't even spot a wifi/bluetooth card here :thinking:

weird

Let's try narrowing the search:

sudo lshw -c network

OR

inxi -N

Output of sudo lshw -c network:

TGRush is right - no Wifi card is shown at all. Is it the onboard chip or a plug in Wifi Dongle?

I have disabled the onboard wifi from the BIOS. The onboard bluetooth is enabled, though
