  1. Bluetooth audio stops working after being idle


    Hi there! *Biggrin

    I decided to reinstall Windows 10 Pro a few days ago after being on 8.1 for a few months to see what improvements had been made. Everything seems to be working fine - except my Beats Wireless headset. I notice now that whenever I stop playing audio for a little while (for instance, I paused a video for about five to ten minutes earlier to eat) and then start again, I get no sound. I checked my sound properties and they remain selected as the default during these times, but it doesn't show any sound being played. They also remain connected under my Bluetooth settings.
    The only fix seems to be either pairing them again or restarting. It's a real pain in the butt, especially since they never did this when I was on Windows 8.1 *cry*cry*cry
    Thanks in advance for any help you may provide! *Smile

    My Bluetooth mouse stops working after an idle period in the Creators Update

    I had the same problem with my Designer Mouse freezing every hour or so for a few seconds.

    What I found in Device manager under most of the Bluetooth device events was it "requires further installation" and the only drivers for me are built in to Windows 10.

    What I did was to go to Device Manager > Bluetooth and remove all instances of my Designer mouse, Bluetooth LE Attribute Service (you'll loose your mouse while you do this) and all other Bluetooth devices.

    Reboot

    Then head to Settings > Bluetooth & other device and redetect the mouse.

    Now the problem came back once and then I redetected the mouse once more (now shows two mice) and now this only happens maybe once a week for less than a sec.

    Hope this helps!
