8260 Bluetooth disappeared from device manager.

I have Gigabyte H170N wifi motherboard (purchased last week) with an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 module. Initially everything worked fine -- I have a Bluetooth mouse and speakers that were paired and functioning.

Today, after rebooting, the Bluetooth radio seems to have disappeared. I've tried suggestions found on this forum, such as uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and nothing has worked. The Bluetooth radio does not appear in device manager at all.

Do I need to return the motherboard or is there a fix?
