Go to device manager, bluetooth raidios, on the top one, double click on it, then click on advanced, power management, Uncheck the box allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for some info!

The Icon was already on the system tray.

I checked and the power off box was not checked.

When it turns off there is no way the system will find the BT at all (going into device manager or by search).

I checked and all the drivers are up-to-date on the BT.

I also have updated the Bios on the computer.

Do you have any other ideas?

LEE

Lee,

Try these tweaks, then restart the computer and see if the bluetooth stays operating.

Start, control panel, device manager.

Go to the USB Controller section and click the + sign.

Go to each USB Root Hub and right click on it, left click properties, left click power management. Uncheck the box, allow computer to turn off this device to save power.

Restart your computer.
