How to turn Bluetooth Off in Windows 10?

The Bluetooth device can just be ignored unless there are devices close by such as mice, keyboards, cellphones, etc., that can communicate to the computer [usually less than about 10 meters] or it can be disabled in Device Manager. It should be noted that Bluetooth on Notebooks is usually part of the Wi-Fi adapter, manually turning off Wi-Fi also turns off Bluetooth, I have 4 Notebooks that work that way, an HP, 2 Dells and a MacBook Pro. A Bluetooth dongle can be purchased for Desktops or if wishing to add it to a non-equipped Notebook.

Thank Berton. Your message makes me feel that i need not to worry about that issue. Thank You :)

You're welcome. Just keep in mind that Bluetooth devices have to be Paired to the computer to be useful.

Sure I will. :)

From what I understand the toggle presence depends on if you're on a mobile or desktop device, there are no toggles for bluetooth and wi-fi on desktop PC's. Windows 10 is great and all but there are a lot of these small "features" that makes you just scratch your head over what the devs were thinking, I mean, why not include toggles on a desktop PC? I can't think of any reason.

I recently bought a mini PC (ECS Liva) and it comes with a card that incorporates both wi-fi and bluetooth in the same card. My wi-fi doesn't play well with bluetooth (because wi-fi) so I would like to disable the bluetooth signal, NOT the bluetooth device. If I disable the bluetooth adapter in the device manager the wi-fi adapter stops working. So here is a legit reason to include toggles on ALL devices.

I have a desktop with no bluetooth device installed; no wireless either. Yet, I can not turn BT off.

Did you look in Services and disable the Bluetooth settings in services, then reboot??

Should I disable both of these?

Yes, From services.msc <---- type in your search window, or select from the pic, at the bottom choose "Open Services" then choose properties , disable. Then reboot. On my 2 computers this works only after a reboot. Worth a shot anyhow. This has to be a another bug in windows thou. Sometime this works, sometimes it doesn't.
Only reason to go to the Services is to check that its disabled, being stopped just is not enough.
