A Windows 7 or Vista-based computer may go to sleep during a Bluetooth file transfer
When you transfer a large file between two Windows 7 or Vista-based computers by using a Bluetooth connection, one of the computers may go to sleep during the transfer. When this problem occurs, the file transfer is not completed.Â
This problem occurs if the file transfer requires more time than the time that is configured for the computer to go to sleep. For example, this problem occurs if you configure the computer to go to sleep after two minutes, and the Bluetooth file transfer requires three minutes to finish.
To work around this problem, verify that the computers are not configured to go to sleep after a short time. For example, if you expect to perform Bluetooth file transfers of files that may take 30 minutes or so to complete, configure the computers to go to sleep after 60 minutes of inactivity.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
