Windows 10 Anniversary Update

It cause a lot of trouble. A lot of apps hangs on copy&paste operation or just hangs without reason.

After update Win 10 to 1607, bluetooth on Thinkpad T430 stopped working. It shows connected devices but it does not work.

  • In device manager you have to remove all bluetooth devices (right click on it -> uninstall and check box to remove software)
