This Windows version (6.3.9600) does not support<br>

I am not intentionally using Bluetooth. I found a few reports of it <br>
around the web.<br>

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