Headphones, mouse and keyboard randomly disconnects while playing games

I recently transitioned to using a PC, but I've been experiencing a recurring issue. Whenever I play games like Valheim or Rocket League, my mouse and keyboard tend to disconnect intermittently.

Hi Eva,

Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

1. Are you playing the game using the keyboard or a gamepad?

2. Can you elaborate on the troubleshooting steps that you have performed to fix the issue?

3. Did you update your drivers after the installation of Windows 10?

If you are playing the games using a gamepad, I suggest that you try wiggling the mouse or hitting a random button on the keyboard every five minutes and check if your PC still goes to sleep. This will help us determine if the settings for the device is
set correctly.

Also, I suggest that you check if there are any pending updates for your PC. If so, disconnect all external devices other than mouse and keyboard install the updates and check.

Your reply is very important to ensure a proper resolution. Please get back to us with the above information to assist you accordingly.
