Hi Lacihetemplar,

Based on my knowledge, there is no public API to check if the status of Bluetooth. You can feature a request on UserVoice.

I also find a work around about this. It uses try and catch to know the Bluetooth status. Please see it in detail in the following link. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23545233/how-to-check-status-of-bluetooth-in-windows-runtime.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

Regards,
