    Hi all,

    I recently did a clean install of Windows 7 on my L502x and installed all official Dell Drivers. The system worked excellently until I downloaded the most recent batch of updates (June-August).

    After installing these updates a glitch started showing up whereby the rick-click would take upwards of 12 seconds to load. I eventually tracked it down to the Bluetooth Shell Extensions and had to disable them in order to make the right click function normally again.

    Anyone know which update has caused this and if there's a way to allow my bluetooth to work properly again?

    Thanks for reading..!

    Hi guys - found the cause of the problem.

    Turns out that I have the Intel Wireless N 1030 Wifi/Bluetooth card installed. This is one of the many cards that's been affected by Windows Update KB 3161608/3172605. The link is here for a list of current cards that have a new driver released and Intel's hoping to release a fix for more adapters soon. Hopefully it includes this one.

    In the meantime I've uninstalled the update as it's an optional as opposed to an important one. Bluetooth and the context menus are working perfectly again! :)
