    ?How to enable bluetooth without using mouse?


    My Win10 PC has built in bluetooth and I use it with a bluetooth mouse. I accidentally turned bluetooth off and that made it real hard to turn it on again since the mouse stopped working. Catch-22! The solution is to install a USB mouse just to turn bluetooth back on. Grrrr......

    I tried the batch file that was posted by Brink on Sept 9, 2017. I assigned a keyboard shortcut. The batch file stopped "bthserv" as expected (running it again started bthserv).. However, when bthserv was stopped bluetooth was still ON and the bluetooth mouse continued to work. I verified bthserv was stopped by checking services with the task manager.

    I assumed that running the batch file would not turn bluetooth back on if I manually turned it off.

    So, does someone have a way to turn bluetooth ON without using any mouse clicks?

    Ok we'll need to go back into the dim and distant past, before Apple stole the idea from Xerox

    If you have a conventional keyboard attached press the windows key, (old style keyboard Ctrl-Esc)

    Type "Bluetooth" (no quotes) and enter when the "Bluetooth and other devices panel shows" use the arrow keys to navigate around the panel and space bar to turn Bluetooth on / off

    Mouse not harmed at anytime during this posting

    Tested with Windows 10 Pro Fall Creators Update

    Barman58, Thanks for the info. I found that I could not navigate with the keyboard arrow keys. But your hint about using the Windows key to get to the search box did it for me. I typed "Turn bluetooth off/on" and it did it. No need to even go to the bluetooth settings page!

    Thanks,
    Larry
