    Awesome laptop man. Tag me once you get it if you want me to tweak it for you. I strongly advice you when you first run the Windows welcome wizard when first turning it on to not connect to any wireless network just hit the skip blue text on the bottom left otherwise you will be forced to login with a Microsoft account which you really don't want

    @ Phoenix
    Thank you! Will do, I ran into the stupid Microsoft login problem when I logged into the xbox app to turn off some settings on my other laptop, luckily it was easily fixable.

    @Phoenix There's one more thing, I tried updating the wifi driver with the Obsidian update tool. I think they linked it to the drivers without bluetooth, fixed it by downloading the drivers with bluetooth on the Intel website.

    Sorry but I don't get it.
    In the tab "others" you will find the WiFi driver and the Bluetooth driver, they are two separate drivers.
    Is that what you are looking for?

    Sorry been busy, updated the wifi drivers using Obsidian tools, wifi works fine, bluetooth needs a reinstall every time computer restarts :S.... tried both BT_19.50.1_64_Win10.exe and BT_19.40.1702_64_Win10.exe from intel website (with full driver and app uninstall). Both not working after restart.

    Bluetooth is hidden in device manager, bluetooth driver shows up as intel(R) wireless bluetooth(R) with error "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45)"

    Edit: Appears to work correctly with full uninstall of PROset and bluetooth+wifi drivers then reinstall with BT_19.40.1702_64_Win10.exe and Wireless_19.40.0_PROSet64_Win10.exe

    Apologies, it appears to be windows creator update, turned on power save management for bluetooth, must be unchecked the first time the computer reboots after driver reinstall, or the checkbox doesn't show if it is disabled. Stupid Microsoft...

    Thanks for your time!
