    Cropped across another issue with the W8 Migration

    the Bluetooth stack is now very complex, the old one under W7 had two nice easy options for either sending or receiving a Bluetooth file. now it doesn't and I cant for the life of me get files to send or receive to my phone, its a right pain! the laptop and the phone can pair and see each other but whenever I send a file from one to the other it just hangs and does nothing

    no idea what to do tbh, I was thinking rip the newest stack software out and try to install the older version from 7 onto the 8 OS, will report back with progress if any!
