Windows 10: Auto-allow Bluetooth Connections?

I have a bit of a strange use-case on Win10 on manufacturing test systems. We want to test Bluetooth connections to our devices, and we have a system in place to find and pair with the device, but on connection, we always get the pop-up to ask if we will allow the connection. I know you can turn the pop-up itself off, but is there a way to just allow all connections without that user interaction? This normally isn't a problem with your own devices, but we run many devices through the system each day with different addresses and don't want to have to have a person clicking away on "allow" al

That is a horrible solution, as someone who remote assists a variety of technologically challenged people this posses a major headache. Can I suggest a simple auto connect checkbox similar to the WiFi feature.
