I have this icon on the notification area, but I haven't the option to disable bluetooth on it.

On mine I leave BT off and the icon appears in the up arrow popup 'box' with red logo on blue backround, I just right click the icon and it gives the option to turn BT on, when I do that the icon moves to the taskbar with white logo on blue backround, right cllick this one and several options popup.

If you mean the keyboard button next to F12, Yes.

Device manager shows I have 'HP integrated bluetooth module 2.1.....' Driver is Broadcom 6.2.0.9000

Below that there is also a Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator with driver 6.1.7600.16385

If that make a difference for you guys.

PS: As I have stated before, almost all of the HP featues that do basic OS tasks are simply cosmetic overwrites of the standard windows features that come with the OS, all they do is slow things down. I just tested the 'factory fresh' machine I am returning and it appears that HP wireless assistant adds 3-4 seconds extra to logon to my wifi compared to my clean install which logs on fully about 2 seconds after the signal strength bars show on the taskbar.

Do you know what this contains? Is this available via windows updates? or is this something else? Not much info on the HP page.

Essential System Updates consists of Microsoft Windows patches that were packaged together by HP. Most of the time, the patches that are included in these packages are NOT publicly available from Microsoft Update. However, these patches will be included in the next service pack when it becomes available.

There should be a list of updates somewhere on HP's website, or in the driver documentation (if there is one)...

Well I installed it with no problems so far. Interesting item in the 'read me' while installing i scrolled down the list of applicable products and it listed the HP envy 14-1000 and the HP envy 17....

If you mean the Instant On Solution thing, you'll find it in the SWsetup folder that came on your original machine configuration. If you didn't back that up it is on the recovery discs you should have created. I deleted it from my backups, it is useless to me since it does not work with SSD's.

IMO it is a worthless program anyway. On my original i7 envy it just slowed down normal startup and only saved like 10 seconds to get online, had limited functions and no battery life savings.

It might be me, but I think the F18 firmware is better than this new F19A. I noticed the fan runs more often on F19 than on F18.
