How to permanently disable Internal Bluetooth

Anonymous

Hi guys,

I have recently purchased a Bluetooth dongle for my pc because the built in Bluetooth on my motherboard (MSI-B550M Pro-VDH) is not connecting to my Bluetooth devices. So how do I disable the internal Bluetooth permanently because as i try to disable the Bluetooth drivers of my internal Bluetooth then there would not be a turn Bluetooth on/off setting in the settings page. Furthermore it would not allow me to connect to any Bluetooth devices. Any feedback is kindly appreciated. Thank You

    Hi WilsonTeh1

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    On an MSI PC or laptop you will have a utility named SCM Installed and you can use that to disable Bluetooth

    At the bottom right of you screen, you should see a small silver icon, right click that to open the SCM Control Panel and there you will find that option.

    Hi Dave,

    i will attach two pics below. The first pic is the device manager which shows the radio driver connected properly (CSR Bluetooth Radio) and the second picture shows there is not a bluetooth on/off selection in the settings. The dongle is connected as (Dongle) under the other devices section. The bluetooth dongle that i have purchased is the TP- Link UB 400. Thank You.

    Hi WilsonTeh1,

    1

    Open device manager, find that internal Bluetooth device, right click and choose properties, then rather than uninstalling it, on the driver tab, disable it

    2

    Check the support page for your system on the MSI website, to check if SCM is downloadable from there.
