windows bluetooth

In my "notification" icon next to clock, when I click on it I see 9 little thumbnails or tiles. One of which is called "Bluetooth". My issue is; sometimes that tile/thumbnail is lit up blue and other times it's that awful gray color.

I don't have any bluetooth devices connected to my system and I'm pretty damn sure that my mobo doesn't have bluetooth support.

So why is this happening with it looking like bluetooth is active?

Before anybody asks...I do have a windows phone but that function is turned off and stays off.....I just checked that.

 

Go into device manager and see if Bluetooth is listed there when it is lit blue then again when it is grey.

If it is you can disable it there. Do you have a wireless keyboard or mouse attached to the system? One of them could be Bluetooth and it could be reading the dongle connected to the system.

 

in the notification im assuming your on windows 10 you will see a lot of squares boxes like wifi airplain mode then you should see bluetooth if you click on it it will go on if you click on it it will go off those it respond like that yes or no

 

I would if showed up there.....it's not there.

 

Nothing in device manager showing up there for bluetooth.

 

You probably thought about this have you tried selecting All Setting in there to see if there is a way there to turn it off, stop showing, or something similar.

What happens if you right click on it?

Can it be turned off in the Action Center?

 

click on top of it where it says bluetooth will it go off from blue to grey its inportant that i know that i will explain after from the notification area

 

Do you have any other devices attached to the PC? Anything at all? Even through your network?

 

It does turn gray doing that....but as soon as that window closes and you open it back up...it lit up blue again.....crazy.

 

No.....and I'm not connected to any home group either or have I created one. It just baffles me......

 

I just get the "go to settings" pop up and clicking that takes me to all settings. In all settings I've searched in each tile and can't find anything listed for bluetooth.

 

Do you by chance have a wireless NIC or USB NIC installed?

 

sorry
but when you click on that will it turn grey this is your picture if you carfuly click on it one's only and wait yes or no

 

you might not be aware that you have bluetooth but it might be built in is this a desktop or loptop it might be missing the driver thats why you dont see it in driver maneger so lets figure this out step by step lol and by the way i meant left click on it thanks

 

What are the chances that Ten is reading Bluetooth one by mistake or two by another device connected IE printer?

Also is this some thing that you have noticed since the install or is this some thing that appeared after an update/patch happened?

 

This is a custom built rig....it has no bluetooth hardware at all....none as I stated in my original post.

Could be a very good change that 10 is just messed up....and I don't have any wifi printers. Just one old HP 5610v that still kicking.

That's a good question. I just recently noticed the issue...not sure if it has some thing to do with and update or not.

 

Guess what...right now...."no bluetooth" showing at all. OK...so what the hell is going on now!
