My tests on AppVeyor recently started failing. When I logged in I found
a dialog saying:
This Windows version (6.3.9600) does not support
the required Bluetooth API. Consider updating
to a more recent Windows (10.0.10586 or above).
I am not intentionally using Bluetooth. I found a few reports of it
around the web.

Per these reports it seems to relate to PyQt5 >= 5.10 and Windows <=
8.1.
I am trying to figure out the trigger since a running QApplication with
a QMainWindow is not sufficient to cause the dialog. I'll share
whatever more info I can collect but figured I'd check here in case the
issue is already known, or maybe even intentional dropping of support
for older Windows versions or somesuch.
Cheers,
