windows 8 BlueTooth Management Failure in Windows 8

[News Bot]

Hey there,

In looking through forums, I see that I should be able view my Bluetooth device status through the networks portion of the Settings Charm after selecting "Change PC Settings". Also, going to airplane mode should disable it. Neither is the case

for me. Has anyone seen this?

I also noticed right clicking my Bluetooth systray item doesn't allow me to disable the device. I have to go to Device ManagerNetwork Adapters listing and disable it there. 

Further, when I connect my bluetooth headset, the only way that I have found to connect it is to go to playback devices and manually connect through there. This seems a step back from Windows 7, but I think it's probably tied to the above problems, and I

list it only for context.

I downloaded the most recent drivers.

Chassis: Dell e6410

Device: Dell Wireless 375 Bluetooth Module

OS: Windows 8 Enterprise

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Tom
