I read somewhere that the Bluetooth physical transmitter sends out some type of signal into the environment. I also read that it's probably not harmful... but since I probably will not be using Bluetooth in the immediate future, it's probably better off.

Is there an easy way in Win8 to shut off Bluetooth for now?

I'm looking for a simple way, so that I can start it back up quickly if necessary.

How about:
  • Use <Windows Key>+I to bring up Settings
  • Click on "Change PC Settings" (bottom right)
  • Click on "Wireless" on the left hand side
Do you get a Bluetooth switch?
