How to turn on or turn off the logical pairing with Bluetooth peripherals in Windows 10

Starting with Windows 10 build 17093, Windows allows users to conduct pairing with supported Bluetooth devices with just one click.When these devices are ready to pair and detected within range, Windows will display notifications to users and allow them to start the pairing process quickly and conveniently.Microsoft would like to thank the Surface Accessories team for working closely with them to create the first device available in the market to support this new experience, which is the Surface Precision Mouse product.Currently, Microsoft is working with many other partners to develop a list of devices that support this new feature.To learn more, you can refer to the Microsoft blog post here.

The steps for users to use and benefit from this feature are:

Set the Bluetooth peripheral in pairing mode.

If the peripheral is near, Windows will automatically display a notification to the user.

Select Connect to start pairing.

When the external device is no longer in pairing mode or is no longer nearby, Windows will delete the notification from the Action Center.
