the update killed my bluetooth i can't get it to connect now it wants to run into my freaking hdmi
Can you please post the terminal output of
sudo lshw -C network
We needs to know what Radio Device is managing bluetooth.
Since it is leading to HDMI... Do you have Nvidia graphics?
What Device/Devices You want connect? And is the Bluetooth itself active or inactive on Your Machine? What is Your Output for sudo systemctl status bluetooth
I also lost functioning bluetooth after installing an update. I'm no expert, but installing and using this app solved it for me:
Blueman Bluetooth Manager
Hopefully this helps!

tried that blueman it won't install
This is a kernel supplied driver. Since this happened after an Update, I would suspect the later kernel as having an Bluetooth HCI support regression.
When you boot, can you access the grub menu (for EFI boot, tap tab or esc at the motherboard splash screen; for MBR Legacy boot, hold the Left Shift key down at boot) and from the menu, select the Zorin Advanced Options
In the next menu, select the earlier or previous Kernel on the list
Zorin on 6.8.whatever
Then boot and test bluetooth?
sorry getting back late on this i don't get notices when ya all post back.
i saved the details you provided and will try them.
umm ok any other idea why none of the steps will work? don't work with tab or shift
It may be doing Init faster than your keypress.
Please boot as normal, then run
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Change these two values to look like (arrow keys to navigate):
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
Once done, tap ctl+o to overwrite, enter to save current configuration, then ctl+x to exit the editor.
Now, run
sudo update-grub
Reboot and it should now show the grub menu without needing to bash a bunch of keys.
