    Hi,

    I am trying to turn off bluetooth in my L502x but could not find a way.

    When i press the setting touch button, it shows launch button near bluetooth.When i press that i see a new window popup, but no way to turn off the bluetooth.

    Also i am trying to setup the touch shortcut key "The center key" to disable my microphone.

    I need help on how to setup the touch button so that the mic gets muted when i press that.

    Appreciate help on this 2 issues.

    Device Manager > right-click on applicable device > disable

    How to tie this to your hotkey ???

    Edit: also, for the bluetooth only, you should be able to hit Win+X for the Windows Mobility Center and disable it there. On the SXPS 16 the hotkey to disable wifi disables bluetooth as well. The mic can also be disabled by Control Panel > Sound > Recording > Right-click on Mic > Disable
