Switch Bluetooth off and on via PowerShell
Hi,
is it possible to switch Bluetooth off and on via PowerShell?
I only found how to stop and start the Bluetooth service and drivers but that does not solve our issue.
See picture below
Kind regards
Cornelius

- corichterCopper ContributorHi,
thanks for the response. It does not work, I get a "Deniedbyuser" as stated also in this article:
https://superuser.com/questions/1615053/using-powershell-to-turn-on-off-the-bluetooth-script-doesnt-work
Anyone found a solution about this?
Kind regards
Cornelius- corichterCopper ContributorHi,
did some more investigations on this issue.
The problem seems to be related to the Radio.RequestAccessAsync() object.
Found this C# example https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34602074/radio-requestaccessasync-only-return-deniedbyuser
How to do this in PowerShell?
Kind regards
