Problem with Bluez (Bluetooth) 'power on' in bluetoothctl

Is anyone else having problem with bluetooth since the latest arch update as I am having it

"In the bluetoothctl shell"
{
first for scan on :

Failed to start discovery: org.bluez.Error.NotReady

second for power on :

Failed to set power on: org.bluez.Error.Failed
}

Also when I enter "list" it does show my controller
Also for "device" it still shows the previously paired devices

(plus before the system update I did just around an hour ago, the bluetooth was working was flawlessly.)

So yeah, I don't know why but it (bluetooth controller) had automatically got soft blocked. I unblocked it through rfkill and everything is okay now.
