Blocking Bluetooth file transfer
We have created a policy to block Bluetooth file transfer. The policy was created through Attack surface reduction -> Device Control.
1-This seems to "Dim" the option to add a Bluetooth device in windows. Which is not what is needed. Only file transfer is to be blocked. How can this be achieved?
2-In allow Bluetooth, You get the following description:
Allows the user to enable Bluetooth or restrict access. Note This value is not supported in Windows Phone 8. 1 MDM and EAS, Windows 10 for desktop, or Windows 10 Mobile. If this is not set or it is deleted, the default value of 2 (Allow) is used. Most restricted value is 0.
There is another option "Reserved" There is no documentation for this option, Any Idea?

perhaps use DLP in Purview to block copy over bluetooth or create an intune policy for device config and add the allowed UID and do not add for file transfer.
