How to remove bluetooth network connection?

Question

Last week I removed my Nokia C1-01 from my list of Bluetooth devices, but can not remove Internet connection called C1-01. Several times I deleted it from the settings of the network adapter, but after restarting the laptop, this internet connection appears again

Answer 1

Thanks alot to both of you! My problem was solved with the installation of Windows 10. During the installation, the register was repaired and I guess that helped. After the installation has finished, I opened "All Settings / Network and Internet / Dial-up connection" and again deleted connection C1-01. Then I restarted the laptop and this connection was gone.

What happens if you try renaming it instead?  Does that change stick?  If not a possibility would be interference from a third-party security product trying to do registry protection.   Then you could try booting in safe mode and trying your changes there.  Reboot in safe mode to be sure that they persist in that mode.  If that works chances are that they will then persist in the normal mode boot, then according to the hypothesis further made persistent by the "registry protector".

Good luck with that.

However, if you don't mind you could do something for me first.   In PowerShell, isssue this command and tell me which label the connection name is associated with. 

    Get-NetConnectionProfile

I have the opposite problem.  All my connections there are apparently with "Unidentified network" which makes them impossible to use in an ICS context and awkward to use in a Homegroup.

Actually that is what I would have said a few days ago but recently I switched ISP and now have a properly identified network with a new modem/router.  My previous ISP only allowed me to bridge my wireless router to its modem/router.  So, I suspect the "Unidentified network" problem may just be a symptom of misconfiguration or deficient functionality in my previous setup.

Another diagnostic you could try to help clarify your symptom description is (in either PowerShell or in a cmd window) enter:

   netsh lan sh in

and

   netsh lan sh pr

or

   netsh wlan sh in

and

   netsh wlan sh pr

(depending on whether you are using Ethernet wired or wireless)

and say where you see the name you want to get rid of.

OMG.  I also just did those netsh wlan commands and now I see where that new name is coming from.  It's an SSID.  So, the earlier problem was probably due only to security/obscurity.  Why can't the troubleshooters make this stuff clearer?  Anyway, serendipity for me.  Thanks for making me find this.

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the description, I understand that you are facing some issues using your Windows 8.1 computer.

This might have occurred due to some third party application conflicts.

I would like to know some information.

1. What happens when you remove from the Bluetooth devices?
2. Do you get any error code or error message?

Try the methods.

Method 1:

I would suggest you to temporarily disable the antivirus security software program installed on your computer and check if that helps.

Disclaimer: Antivirus software helps protecting your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software and\or troubleshoot any pertinent issue, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you are connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to malware attacks.

Method 2: I suggest you to perform clean boot and check, using this Microsoft Article because may be a third party application is causing this issue.

NOTE: A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows. You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot. You must log on to the computer as an administrator to be able to perform a clean boot. Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when you perform a clean boot. When you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original error message, or experience the original behavior if the problem still exists. If the computer is connected to a network, network policy settings may prevent you from following these steps.

Once you perform clean boot do refer to the section “How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting” to boot the computer in normal mode.
