Fix
Validate the site documentation to ensure the approval of use for Wi-Fi server connections. If the connection has not been approved, type "Services" in the Windows search bar. In the Services "Name " column, look for the "Bluetooth Support Service" and set this to "Disabled". Any Bluetooth devices listed or in use must be documented and approved by the information system security officer (ISSO) or authorizing official (AO).
