My windows 8.1 bluetooth settings screen always reads "Your PC is searching for and can be discovered by Bluetooth devices."
Is this normal? What if I just want to have my keyboard paired to my laptop, but not have my laptop continuously searching for new devices? Is there a way to turn off the "searching" part?
Currently, the only way to turn off that message is to turn off Bluetooth altogether.
Or is there not really a difference between "searching for devices" and being paired with devices? I.e. are the signals sent out by my laptop to pair same as the signals sent out to search for devices, and there aren't actually any "extra" signals sent specifically to search for devices?
