    Windows turning Bluetooth on and off without noticing you?

    Locked

    by Oblivion99 ·

    Dear all

    On one of my laptops, Bluetooth adapter is disabled in Device Manager and Bluetooth turned Off in Windows settings.

    Have you ever experienced:

    1.
    Windows doing following, without your knowledge or noticing you:
    Device Manager
    Bluetooth adapter
    Disabled device > enable device > re-disable device

    2.
    What scenarios could trigger this?

    3.
    How likely is this to happen?

    4.
    Windows doing following, without your knowledge or noticing you:
    Windows settings
    Bluetooth Off > Bluetooth On > Bluetooth Off

    5.
    What scenarios could trigger this?

    6.
    How likely is this to happen?

    Thank you

      Hardware fails a lot.

      When I see such weirdness I swap out the WiFi or BT hardware.

      Yes, some will try updating drivers but my experience is hardware fails too often and is the cheaper fix.

        Have you ever experienced, or heard other experience 1 or 4?

        And if yes, what caused it?

        Thank you

          I did the IT thing for my brother’s office for far too long. Because it was my time the PC rescue bag always had some USB bluetooth and WiFi adapters.

          I am note sure, if that was an answer for my questions?

          Have you ever experienced, or heard other experience 1 or 4?

          And if yes, what caused it?

          Thank you

          Sorry, I was tasked with finding a fix, not what caused it.

      May I ask why you ask this silly question? If you don’t come up with a good reason, I’ll delete the discussion.

        They continue to pose theoretical questions, that often don’t have any basis in real world usage.
        Then when an answer is offered, they just expand the theoretical what ifs, in some sort of mental
        gymnastics that provide no usefulness.
