Well good idea but since my pc has no bluetooth interface it will be kind of difficult to disable it in the UEFI

Is there Bluetooth in Device Manager and can you simply uninstall it? Or have you already tried and it comes back?

I had same problem on one of my computers with no Bluetooth, but, try looking in your services and disable any links to Bluetooth, I had 3, some others only had 2 links.....then reboot. might work.

On my 2nd computer their is NO Bluetooth device even listed to remove, but windows doesn't care, still turned it on with no device even showing. lol That's why I told him to check services.

Although I should have picked that up in the other thread we discussed with Shawn, I didn't realize it was THAT messed up, Mike. If I didn't want the capability to occasionally actually use Bluetooth on this laptop of mine, I'd be doing whatever I could to put it all out of commission just to not have the dang button misbehaving. Oh well, sometimes you just have to tolerate a few warts and bumps I guess.

Now that you mention it, my windows.old folder is gone as well.
My SSD is 30GB richer!

Hmmm, mine is still showing. Maybe not quite 30 days since TH2 was installed perhaps. I don't think I got offered it straight away.

EDIT - actually it's been 35 days since TH2. Wonder why Windows hasn't freed it up, I know I can do disk clean up but curious why Windows isn't doing it. Does Windows need some idle time to do it? Got to admit in the past week the computer only gets turned on for twenty mins at a time just to check a few things.

Ok my Windows.old finally deleted. I left the computer alone for about 20 mins and when I got back it was gone and 15 gigs reclaimed, so it just needed some idle time.

Thanks for the input. But I guess I'll just leave it. It's doesn't really bother me. Just noticed it and wondered why on earth Windows thinks my non-existent Bluetooth device is active.
