How many clicks does it take you to turn Bluetooth off in Windows 11? Open Settings, find Bluetooth, flip the switch, close Settings.
That’s a lot of steps for an on/off switch.
Toggle Bluetooth is an AutoHotkey v2 script that flips Bluetooth on or off with a hotkey. 😊
Press Alt+B, Bluetooth Flips
The default hotkey is Alt+B. Press it and a large notification tells you the result: Bluetooth: On in green or Bluetooth: Off in red.
The tray icon also changes, so a glance at the taskbar shows the current state.
How It Flips the Switch
Windows 11 doesn’t offer a simple command for this. So the script uses the same switch you would click:
- Opens the Bluetooth page in Windows Settings, made invisible so it doesn’t flash at you
- Clicks the Bluetooth switch through UI Automation, the Windows accessibility interface
- Reads the new state and closes Settings again
When the script starts, it checks the current state the same way and shows which hotkey to press.
When You’d Reach for It
- Headphones grabbed the wrong device: off and on again in two key presses
- Saving laptop battery when you’re away from your speakers and mouse
- Flights and meetings where you want radios off fast
