Bluetooth: Not Available

Hi Apple people. Is there a way to reinstall Bluetooth on an iMac? Once I upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.3 my bluetooth disappeared. The icon in the menu says Not Available and it is missing from Preferences folder.

I have looked for .plist files to delete - there aren't any. I have reset the PRAM and the SMC and so far no luck. Any other suggestions?

iMac, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

MacBook Air doesn't find bluetooth module I have a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015) and a macOS Catalina (10.15.5). Some time ago I realized my Bluetooth is not working but it was ok because I didn't use it. Yesterday I tried to pair with bluetooth speaker and I failed. I tried different solutions like restarting computer, resetting the SMC and PRAM, deleting .plist files but it never helped. Mac doesn't find bluetooth module at all because system report says "no information found'' on bluetooth page. And I can't use Shift+Option and click on the Bluetooth menu to access debug menu and select reset the bluetooth module. What should I do?
