Windows 10: BT Earphones Audio Issues in Stereo Mode!

I'm having a very annoying problem with my Bluetooth EarphonesOneplus Buds Z and it started when I had updated on my Windows 10It was some Windows 10 feature update.Here is my problem:Whenever I use my BT Earphone the Music playing intermittently stops playing for a second or two and then comes back on. [ Note : The music does NOT pause in the actual sense, the track keeps on playing, but the audio isn't played by the buds ].Surprisingly it doesn't happen with my any other BT earphones but I think there is some problem from Microsoft's side since it began since the windows feature update.

Why does Spotify take control of my Bluetooth earphones' stereo output?

I own Bluetooth earphones, which I have paired with my Windows 10 laptop.

I can happily listen to audio from various different sources, until I play music through Spotify. Once I do, Spotify seems to completely hijack the stereo output device. If I pause the music and attempt to listen to another source (such as YouTube), I can no longer hear the audio playback despite seeing the amplitude bar move in the Windows sound settings. However, if I resume the Spotify music whilst the other sound source is still outputting, I can hear the other sound in the background of Spotify's output. Without restarting the earphones, I have found two ways of restoring the ability for other applications to output sound:

• If I right click on the earphones' Hands-Free device in the Windows playback device list and select "Test", I briefly hear the test output via the Hands-Free device and then suddenly the stereo output from the non-Spotify application continues.
  
• If I close Spotify whilst music is playing (and so the other app's audio can be heard in the background), the audio from the non-Spotify application can be heard again. However, if I close it whilst Spotify is paused, the non-Spotify audio does not resume.
  

I've found a hotfix in which disabling "Show desktop overlay when using media keys" from the Spotify settings prevents this issue from occuring, but what is causing this strange behaviour?

Note: I've disabled the ability for applications to take exclusive control of both the "Stereo" and "Hands-Free" playback devices for my earphones, to no avail.
