I am using a Steam Deck LCD 512gb model. System report uploaded for steam ID https://steamcommunity.com/id/fadookie/

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Sometimes the Bluetooth menu in gaming mode settings completely vanishes from the settings menu. It's completely hidden and can't be accessed. I am not sure what triggers it but I usually leave my deck on in sleep mode all the time, perhaps that's related. I was also offline once when trying to access the Bluetooth menu.

Restarting the deck seems to fix it temporarily.

I didn't used to have this issue. It started happening maybe a month or so ago.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Not sure of the exact trigger condition, maybe let the deck soak in sleep mode for a long time like 12-24 hours. Having no Internet connection might also be related.
  2. In gaming mode, Hit steam button -> Settings
  3. Look for Bluetooth menu
