Task manager found it and I used it to bring it to the foreground
It asked for my UEFI password and I provided it, reboot and the new updates for the system seem to be woeking

I noticed some additional functions in the device manager and the UEFI.
The device manager showed a new LE class and a driver was on windows update for this. The new function is from the AX211 which Intel is now supporting the low energy component of bluetooth as my machine is a u series CPU.
The UEFI was pleasing as Intel is supporting memory encryption which will make it almost impossible for malicious programs from doing something untoward.
I have questioned my machine with Intel and clearly they responded with functionality expected by the manuals. I expect to see more functionality over time.

I windows 11 I see that a new level of functionality called LE audio is now operational. Bluetooth LE audio is less energy demanding which can result in incremental power savings is about 1 cent a year.
LE was first introduced with Bluetooth 4.2 which also introduced support for Dolby 5.1 surround sound. This was to support DVD and BD playback with audio receivers and well as personal computers.
