SUMMARY I documented here (https://discuss.kde.org/t/kdeconnect-seems-to-cause-panel-freeze-on-logon/36566) how the Plasma panel on the desktop PC would freeze for about 30 seconds when logging in, and not being able to click on anything. After the freeze everything would spring into life with the cached clicked actions appearing in quick succession. In the reference above someone mentioned that it looked like kdeconnect was looking for Bluetooth devices. I have now plugged in an ancient Bluetooth adapter and paired my iPhone successfully. The freeze seems to have disappeared when I logged on. Is it possible to have a switch in the config to manually stop kdeconnect from looking for Bluetooth devices, speeding up the process?

I think you can already disable Bluetooth support: Right-click KDE Connect icon in systray > KDE Connect settings... > settings icon at bottom of left sidebar next to hostname > Backends > Bluetooth.

Don't have that icon/option on my version. The only option near the hostname (at the top on mine) is to edit the hostname itself.
