Hi, just an update, I solved the issue uninstalling the Widcomm software from Broadcom, the native Windows bluetooth software works fine.

I have a Windows 8.1x64 system that was installed under AHCI mode and now want to change the BIOS SATA mode to RAID, but when I do this it won't boot (BSOD), it only boots if I set SATA mode to AHCI. I googled and tried the following tip but it still won't boot (BSOD): Change to RAID mode from...

Yes, I know I can disable bluetooth and problem solved, but I need to have bluetooth enabled since I use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and when enabled I have the issue reported in my post above.

Hi all, I created a Windows Credential (Control Panel/Credential Manager/Windows Credential/Add a Windows Credential) for my external Synology NAS so that I don't have to input my NAS username and password each time I want to map the NAS as a drive in Windows Explorer. The strange thing is that...

Yes, I seldom use System Restore as I do complete image backups monthly. On top of that, I allocated 105GB disk space for system restore, crazy. I only turn on system restore temporarily whenever I install new software, once I verify the system is stable without issues I disable it. For some...
