Turn Bluetooth status On/Off on Windows devices

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to remotely turn On/Off the Bluetooth state on multiple managed Windows devices.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, turn_on_off_bluetooth.ps1 and open it in a text editor like notepad++

2. Copy the contents below to the file or click here to download the file.

   1. Set the $BluetoothStatus variable to "On" or "Off" based on your desired Bluetooth status.
      

      $BluetoothStatus = "Off" # Set this variable to "On" or "Off" based on your desired Bluetooth status
      
      If ((Get-Service bthserv).Status -eq 'Stopped') { Start-Service bthserv }
      Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime
      $asTaskGeneric = ([System.WindowsRuntimeSystemExtensions].GetMethods() | ? { $_.Name -eq 'AsTask' -and $_.GetParameters().Count -eq 1 -and $_.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType.Name -eq 'IAsyncOperation`1' })[0]
      Function Await($WinRtTask, $ResultType) {
          $asTask = $asTaskGeneric.MakeGenericMethod($ResultType)
          $netTask = $asTask.Invoke($null, @($WinRtTask))
          $netTask.Wait(-1) | Out-Null
          $netTask.Result
      }
      [Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
      [Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
      Await ([Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]::RequestAccessAsync()) ([Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus]) | Out-Null
      $radios = Await ([Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]::GetRadiosAsync()) ([System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList[Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]])
      $bluetooth = $radios | ? { $_.Kind -eq 'Bluetooth' }
      [Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioState,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
      Await ($bluetooth.SetStateAsync($BluetoothStatus)) ([Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus]) | Out-Null
