Note: Latitude XT3, Latitude 7404 XFR , XPS 9333, L321x & L322x, Inspiron 15 5537 systems will not be able to toggle Bluetooth because there is no driver support on these models.
Note: By design, Desktop/All-in-One (AIO) systems cannot use the Bluetooth toggle as the Bluetooth toggle option is only available on mobile platforms. The reason for this is that the Bluetooth toggle is dependent on the Airplane mode. Airplane Mode radio management uses the Human Interface Device (HID) process exclusive to battery powered systems.
