    How to turn of Bluetooth in Windows 10?

    Original Title:BKUETOOTH ON/OFF

    I JUST UPGRADE FROM W8 TO W10 ON MY NETBOOK COMPUTER. I WAS ABLE TO USE THE NOTIFICATION AREA TO TURN ON BLUETOOTH & USE MY WIRELESS HEADPHONES WITH MY NETBOOK. WHEN I WENT TO TUNE BLUETOOTH OFF, THE ICON DISAPPEARED FROM THE NOTIFICATION AREA...& I AM
    STILL CONNECTED TO MY NETBOOK..& AM UNABLE TO USE MY WIRELESS HEADPHONES WITH ANY OTEHR DEVICE SINCE I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE BLUETOOTH SETTING OFF. MY BLUETOOTH WIRELESS HEADPHONES CAN ONLY BE ATTACHED TO ONE DEVICE AT A TIME.

    THE BLUETOOTH ICON IS STILL MISSING IN THE NOTIFICATIONS AREA...

    YOUR SUGGESTIONS PLEASE...TKS

    Hi electron100.

    If you wouldn't mine reset your network and see if this helps.

    Start => Settings => Network & internet => scroll to bottom of right hand side => Reset Network

    You will "Forget" all your wireless passwords.

    Hey electron100,
    You don't specify with model toshiba laptop you have, but most have a Function Key to turn wireless on/off. Check the Toshiba website for your specific model, but usually you .. Press the Fn Key, then F8. Some even have a physical switch on the front of the laptop.

    Time to see if this is your Windows or the machine.

    Please have a look in your device manager, are there any unrecognized devices, yellow exclamation points. Within menu at top please click on show hidden devices.

    Next please ensure your touchpad has been detected as proper make, had a Toshiba that thought it had a Lenovo touchpad, reset it and it cleared strange keyboard. Does your device manager show a wireless card?

    Next I would enter BIOS, note current BIOS settings and then load defaults. Each machine is different on what F key or sequence of keys to achieve but most BIOS's have a process to perform reset.

    I would then download and create a Kyhi's Recovery disk. Boot from it and see if Windows detects wireless
