    Hey all,

    I've noticed that my Bluetooth Manager is slow to restart after my computer wakes up from hibernation. It takes a few minutes before I can use my Bluetooth devices.

    I understand that the computer is shutting down wireless communications when in hibernation, and that wireless devices won't be able to wake it, but the time it takes for the Bluetooth manager to come back up seems really slow to me. My wireless networking comes back within a few seconds of waking up, but Bluetooth takes forever.

    I wouldn't mind so much, but I use a Bluetooth mouse and disable my touchpad, so I'm mouseless (is that a word?) for several minutes if I ever close the lid or manually select hibernation.

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks in advance,

    Skarzon

    I don't use hibrnate option at all, but I just enabled it. After "resuming windows..." window, it took 3 seconds for the bluetooth to start. I'm using logitech v270 btw. Try changing the power scheme to Stand By instead of Hibernate, or reinstall bluetooth driver.. hope that helps.
