Hi,
I have been searching the internet for a solution to this question but none come up. Very surprised by that.

How can I block OPP and OBEX on Windows 10? I want to create a GPO to block the transfer of files via bluetooth.
I have seen options for editing the registry with an allowed list, but it did not work.

Thanks

    Hello there,

    How about writing a logon script or DevCon that disables it?

    DevCon (Devcon.exe), the Device Console, is a command-line tool that displays detailed information about devices on computers running Windows. You can use DevCon to enable, disable, install, configure, and remove devices. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/devcon

    Modifying the registry item might also work.

    HKEYLOCALMACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\BTHPORT\Parameters

    Value name DisableFsquirt

    Value type REG_DWORD

    Value data 0x1 (1)

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
