settings-->Bluetooth-->Off

its a service and not Bluetooth itself. thats the service which enable/disable Bluetooth.
so let it handle itself and stop worrying about apps which runs on the background.

its just like bluetooth service on windows. the service is responsible for turning bluetooth On/Off.

Exactly. Let Android manage itself. That's what it's designed to do.

But it isn't managing itself. I clear everything and force stop and it is restarts. The disable button is disabled. Restart doesn't stop it. I don't want my device visible except when I'm pairing. Further my workplace policy forbids using Bluetooth and they scan for rogue AP's. I'm using Galaxy S7 with 6.1.1. Ap Mgr no longer shows running only force stop and disale. Any solution would be appreciated. Thanks.

The BT service app will run whether you have BT switch on or not. Try getting another BT device to connect to your S7, it won't show up.
