Windows 10: Unable to Stop Bluetooth From Working

Windows 10 users have been complaining that they areunable to turn offthe Bluetooth connection even when they don’t want to use their Bluetooth devices, for instance, when they are in a neighborhood where there are so many Bluetooth devices detected. They cannot see the toggle switch (circled out in the screenshot) in Bluetooth device setting.

The reason why this is happening is that Microsoft seems to have an odd logic. It will recognize laptops with battery on is the mobile devices, thus with the Bluetooth device toggle available and easy to access. But if you are with a desktop, or sometimes, an all-in-one, chances are Windows 10 will not see your computer as a mobile device, thus it will not let you have access to the Bluetooth devices management panel. Luckily, this is not a difficult question to solve, not at all. Follow the options below to fix your problem fast and easily Option 2: Update Bluetooth device driver Option 3: Modify Registry settings Option 1: Disable Bluetooth device driver 1) OpenDevice Manager by pressingWindows keyandRat the same time.
