[SOLVED] Powershell toggle bluetooth with a click

Powershell toggle bluetooth with a click

I made up my research and I got this on another question here.

I'm using this powershell command to toggle Bluetooth:

Bluetooth.ps1

[CmdletBinding()] Param (
    [Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][ValidateSet('Off', 'On')][string]$BluetoothStatus
)
If ((Get-Service bthserv).Status -eq 'Stopped') { Start-Service bthserv }
Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime
$asTaskGeneric = ([System.WindowsRuntimeSystemExtensions].GetMethods() | ? { $_.Name -eq 'AsTask' -and $_.GetParameters().Count -eq 1 -and $_.GetParameters()[0].ParameterType.Name -eq 'IAsyncOperation`1' })[0]
Function Await($WinRtTask, $ResultType) {
    $asTask = $asTaskGeneric.MakeGenericMethod($ResultType)
    $netTask = $asTask.Invoke($null, @($WinRtTask))
    $netTask.Wait(-1) | Out-Null
    $netTask.Result
}
[Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
[Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
Await ([Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]::RequestAccessAsync()) ([Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus]) | Out-Null
$radios = Await ([Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]::GetRadiosAsync()) ([System.Collections.Generic.IReadOnlyList[Windows.Devices.Radios.Radio]])
$bluetooth = $radios | ? { $_.Kind -eq 'Bluetooth' }
[Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioState,Windows.System.Devices,ContentType=WindowsRuntime] | Out-Null
Await ($bluetooth.SetStateAsync($BluetoothStatus)) ([Windows.Devices.Radios.RadioAccessStatus]) | Out-Null

It works but It's not want I liked to do. I keep on my research and found this file that checks Bluetooth status and then toggles it.

toggleBluetooth.bat

@echo off
FOR /F "skip=2 tokens=2,*" %%A IN ('reg.exe query "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\bthserv\Parameters\BluetoothControlPanelTasks" /v "state"') DO set "VAR=%%B"

if %VAR%==0x1 (goto ON)

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -windowstyle hidden -File ".\Bluetooth.ps1" -BluetoothStatus On
goto end

:ON
Powershell.exe -executionpolicy Bypass -windowstyle hidden -File ".\Bluetooth.ps1" -BluetoothStatus Off

:end

I created a shortcut and use it on my desktop. Is it any way I can pin it to windows 10 taskbar nor other way of doing all that in the ps1 file?

Solution

you cant pin .bat files to the taskbar directly but you can pin .exe files(like cmd.exe itself) so just: right click -> New -> Shortcut -> paste the following code:

cmd /c start /min cmd /c cd /d "c:\example path\"^& call bluetooth.bat

then just drag the newly created shortcut to the taskbar,change the icon etc..
