Bluetooth, suddenly stopped working

Hello there.

My bluetooth suddenly stopped working, and i figured out how to get it working again, but i want to understand why it happened if possible.

Basically i saw that on rfkill list bluetooth was soft blocked, i unblocked it and it now works and i can power on my bluetooth controller.

But why was it softblocked in the firstplace?

journalctl boot it happened:

I unblocked the softblocked stuff on rfkill and now it works even after reboot.

Output of rfkill before unblocking:
rfkill list
0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
1: ideapad_bluetooth: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no
2: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
4: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: yes
        Hard blocked: no

Re: Bluetooth, suddenly stopped working

Are you dual booting with windows?
