This problem first showed up for me when I was on Fedora 36. I shut off my desktop to add a hard drive, then I boot it up again and bluetooth does not work. I made sure that automatically installing updates upon restart was disabled, so I do not think it was because of any packages updating. I can click on the slider to turn bluetooth on and it slides, but it stays grey. I updated all apps and updated to Fedora 37 hoping that would fix the problem but it does not.
The symptoms of the problem seems to be the same as here: Bluetooth not turning on on Fedora 37 but works on Windows 11 - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
, except the fixes suggested there do not help. I have had this problem before, as discussed here: Unable to turn on bluetooth after update to linux kernel 6.0.5 - #10 by joel2
but the problem resolved itself and we never got to the root of what caused it.
(I will be adding the outputs suggested in that post shortly.)

I’ve tested this on Linux Mint and it seems to work fine. As a random curious side note, Fedora seems to misclassify one of my hard drives as SanDisk when they are both Seagate. (They both show up as Seagate on Linux mint, but anyways this is not really the issue at hand.)

So, the problem is gone again. I guess the solution to this is just to never shut my desktop off

If the issue happens again, try to boot with an older kernel, install firmware updates, disable Fast Boot in BIOS, and perform a cold boot.
If you have dual boot, try to toggle off/on the device in Windows and check if the issue persists when testing separately reboot and full shutdown.

It must be something that happens probabilistically in the BIOS when booting up, because it has happened across several kernel versions as well as on both f36 and f37. It comes without warning then disappears without having done anything intentionally.
I don’t dual boot windows, but I do have Fedora and Linux Mint installed on separate nvme SSDs. (When some issue pops up on one bistro, I switch to the other temporarily.)
Also, what exactly do you mean by a cold boot? Just power off completely then reboot?
