[FONT=&quot]Hello
[/FONT]
I posted this here but cannot find it now so I apologize for cross[osting. it was ot intentional. I checked my subscriptions.
[FONT=&quot]I have Windows 10 x 64 and when I upgraded from 7>8>10 I was told I would lose Bluetooth. Is this the reason it is always on in the action center?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have tried everything but it stays on.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]BTW, I just removed a VM. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Also and importantly this is the first a.m. that I have seen it on. Usually it is off.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]How can it be on if I don't have bluetooth and why was it [/FONT][FONT=&quot]off [/FONT][FONT=&quot]before for months?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Thank you[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Peter
I had the red off as on on the same post.[/FONT]

I had BT until the upgrade advisor which told me I would lose it and did moving to 10.
I followed Brink's directions as since a boot this am that con is gone.
There is no evidence of BT anywhere in the pc and until I booted up this m was in a quandary as to why I had that icon.
Thank you for the interest and I wish I could recreate the remedial steps or you.
Attached is a picture of what I was looking at. In real life the difference in shades of blue show location and BT much lighter.
Peter
