    Bluetooth reconnects to some devices on wake up


    Hi all,

    I have a Windows 10 laptop, a sound bar, and a Google Home device.

    Depending on where I use my laptop I connect to the sound bar or the Google Home via Bluetooth. Then I disconnect both devices (first accidentally, then for testing this issue) and the laptop goes to sleep/hibernate. However when the laptop wakes up later, BOTH devices are connected again automatically. Any sounds from the computer end up playing either on both or one of the devices unexpectedly.

    I prefer that wasn't the case but if it's possible to configure differently, I don't see how or where I could do that.

    Hopefully someone has an idea or suggestion.

    Thank you

    System Setup:
    Dell Laptop
    Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18363.836]
    LG sound bar
    Google Home

    :)

  2. Bluetooth devices will not reconnect after paired

    After the latest major update to windows 10, my Bluetooth headset and my Bluetooth keyboard, after pairing, will not reconnect after disconnected. These devices have always been able to reconnect for subsequent uses even after original windows 10 install.
    After this latest update, they no longer automatically reconnect. They are both listed in the devices list but will not connect. I have to remove and repair every time. Thanks for any help.

    Bluetooth reconnects to some devices on wake up

    Reconnecting a paired bluetooth device without pairing anew

    For a couple of days now I haven't been able to reconnect a paired bluetooth device (an ipega controller) after I disconnect it/it disconnects itself (the device turns itself off after some time of inactivity to save power), unless I disable and then re-enable
    the bluetooth antenna from device manager or restart/hibernate and wake up the PC (so apparently the device will automatically reconnect again if the bluetooth antenna is restarted in any way). The device appears regularly paired and it even seems to connect
    for a split second (“connected” flashes on the status in settings>devices), but then fails. I cannot use “connect” from the action centre, since it doesn't appear on the list.

    I have been using the device for around 2 years now and this is the first time I had this issue consistently (the device refused to connect a couple of times before, but it was a very rare occurrence) and the only thing that changed (that I can recall) is
    a firmware update for the SP4. My PC is a Surface pro 4, i5, 8GB RAM.

    I have read similar posts where the suggestion was to remove the device from settings and then go through pairing again, this is however not a solution to my problem since 1. it used to work without the need to re-pair every time it disconnected, except
    for some occasional hiccup and 2. it means I have to have access to some other input device to the PC even in circumstances where I would normally use the controller only.

    EDIT: If this is relevant at all, the same happens when using an external bluetooth dongle: pairing works fine, but it doesn't reconnect unless I restart/unplug & re-plug the device.

    UPDATE: I tried with another PC (HP255 G4, running Windows 10 as well) with the same result. With an android phone, however, it reconnects normally.
