I've not heard of the Logitech Bolt but I've been using Logitech USB receivers for several years and the keyboard/mouse are active before
Windows loads. They can be used to change bios settings, for example.
I would expect that if your dongle puts some dialogue on the screen
you would be able to respond to it.
