  2. Tap\u00a0Settings<\/strong>,<\/li>\n
  3. Tap\u00a0Change PC settings<\/strong>,<\/li>\n
  4. Select\u00a0Wireless<\/strong> in the left hand list,<\/li>\n
  5. On the right of screen, tap the toggle for\u00a0Bluetooth<\/strong> to switch it off,<\/li>\n
  6. Tap the Window key<\/strong> to get back to the Start Screen.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
