Hi all,
I'm primarily a Mac user, so not massively experienced with Windows - especially Windows 10. I'm building a Windows-based desktop gaming rig and would like to use my existing Bluetooth moues/keyboard with it.
However, I'm a bit confused/concerned about Windows support for waking up via Bluetooth devices. Presumably using a Bluetooth USB dongle means that the dongle switches off when Windows sleeps - leaving you with no way to wake up the PC. Even the PCI-E cards rely on internal USB headers for Bluetooth.
This seems like such a basic requirement in 2016, I'm sure there's a solution. I'm just struggling to find it and would appreciate your help/advice.
Any suggestions? Anyone use a particular Bluetooth adapter that seems to play nice with Windows?
Cheers,
Andy
