Bluetooth may not turn back on when using wireless switch

Bluetooth may not turn back on when using the wireless switch.

If the Wireless switch is used to turn off Wireless/Bluetooth and the system is rebooted, and then the switch is used to turn back on wireless and Bluetooth, then Bluetooth may still be inactivated.

Note: By default from the factory, the wireless switch is only set to turn off wireless networking, but not Bluetooth.

However the defaults for the BIOS are that the switch turns off both wireless networking and Bluetooth.

If the defaults for the BIOS are loaded, then this situation may occur.
