How to Disable a Bluetooth Connection to a PC

A computer with Bluetooth functionality can connect to any Bluetooth capable devices within sufficient proximity once the two have been paired -- including cellphones, keyboards, mouse devices and printers. A computer with an enabled Bluetooth connection, however, uses more power and RAM than a computer with its Bluetooth connection disengaged. If you want to disable a computer's Bluetooth connection, you can do so through the computer's Control Panel in a few steps.

Instructions

1. Click the "Start" button in the computer's task bar and select the "Control Panel" option from the Start menu.

2. Click the "Device Manager" icon to open the Device Manager window.

3. Click the arrow to the left of the "Bluetooth Radios" heading to display the computer's Bluetooth connection.

4. Right-click on the computer's Bluetooth device whose connection you want to disable and select the "Disable" option from the context menu that appears.

5. Click the "Yes" button when prompted to confirm that you want to disable the Bluetooth device's connection.
