Bug Description

I have described the issue here with screenshots https://askubuntu.com/q/1333848/1022606. Please have a look at the screenshots. Turning on the Bluetooth toggle has no effect. The system doesn't turn on the Bluetooth and does no scan for devices. Turning it on just moves the toggle, even the system doesn't acknowledge by showing that Bluetooth is on. The status remains off. It happened only after the upgrade I did yesterday. It was working fine before that. Please look into it. I cannot connect my Bluetooth earphones to my PC. This poses a lot of problems since my classes and courses are all online.

Happens to me too. Should be clean system, installed it yesterday.
Running "systemctl restart bluetooth" while toggle is "on" makes bluetooth work again properly, but switching toggle off kills it again.
Sometimes "rfkill unblock bluetooth" brings it back, but not always.
