Re: Bluetooth mouse/keyboard have to be re-activated after every Re-bo

Here is the link for getting a hotfix (NOTE: You may have to try the URL several

https://support.microsoft.com/contac...1410&WS=hotfix


Also, from what I have recently read, this hotfix is supposed to be included in
next Tuesday's Windows Updates.
