Does anybody know how to get rid of this error?
I tried to Google this but always the suggestion is to go to advanced settings and unchecked the "metered connection" setting. The thing is, I cannot find this "advanced setting"
Background:
On XPS12 9250 with windows 10 anniversary update
Trying to connect a Bluetooth keyboard, and also the Dell active pen, always failed due to this error

I think the advanced settings is in the metro ui settings which can be found on start menu.

Thanks
Will try as soon as I get home tonight
Admittedly, I don't use the metro ui much.

nope, can't find the appropriate toggle either
not on the metro ui setting, nor on the desktop control panel setting
searching on google also does not give anything. could it be that anniversary update removed the setting altogether?

update: found the setting for the metered connection
but it didn't fix the error message
although i found that my bluetooth keyboard actually works, even though i got the error message...
my active pen also works although the error message is still there, but the top button of my active pen does nothing. considering the pen also works even without bluetooth being switched on, it is possible that the top button requires proper bluetooth connection to work.
