You can’t open the “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time.

I recently updated my 13" 2014 Air to Big Sur 11.6.2 (the latest available for my Mac) and now I'm unable to connect any bluetooth devices or even access the bluetooth settings. I keep getting the message "You can’t open the “Bluetooth” preferences pane because it is not available to you at this time."

I have already tried resetting both the SMC and NVRAM following these instructions, but still get the error message
