Windows 10: Create per device Bluetooth auto-connect toggle.

Adwalta Gelschewitz · Mar 21, 2023

Bluetooth Auto-connect is a nice feature. It problematically steals connection priorities away from my laptop if my computer fires up. There should be an option in windows to toggle whether or not a device auto-connects.

Disable bluetooth auto connect

Hi Brekkie,

Bluetooth works by pairing devices. Once pairing is confirmed, it automatically connects to one another when both devices are on.

To manually connect your devices, follow these steps to remove the pairing on your computer by deleting the audio device pairing:

Select Start > Settings > Devices >
Bluetooth & other devices.

Select the paired Bluetooth device that you want to remove > Remove device >
Yes.

You can always connect your audio device to your computer if you want to use them again. You can post your suggestion in our

Feedback Hub.

We appreciate your idea about manual Bluetooth connectivity. We're just here if you need further help.

That is a horrible solution, as someone who remote assists a variety of technologically challenged people this posses a major headache. Can I suggest a simple auto connect checkbox similar to the WiFi feature.

Keeping devices from automatically connecting via Bluetooth

Thank you for getting back to us. If the built-in speaker is already set as the default playback device on your laptop, you can disable the Bluetooth of your laptop instead. To avoid unpairing the device altogether, you can just disable the Bluetooth function
of your laptop. Once you re-enable the Bluetooth, your laptop should automatically connect to the Bluetooth speaker again. Follow these steps to manage your Bluetooth settings:

Click the Start button.

Go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth.

Set the Bluetooth toggle to the desired setting.

Let us know if you have other questions.

I've tried disabling the Bluetooth earlier and again following your suggestion

and offer that this is not a workable solution.

With, on my laptop, my Bose speakers and other devices are paired but not connected and the

Bluetooth is turned off, if the TV is on and connected (using) the Bose system, the laptop will

automatically connect to the speakers (disconnecting the TV) when Bluetooth is toggled on.

Given the above, I have to go through a convoluted routine anytime I want to connect to a device (printer, etc.) while the TV is on. Connecting, disconnecting, pairing, reconnecting, disconnecting, etc. etc. isn't a real solution.

Hopefully there's another approach or a real solution coming in the Windows 10 upgrade

that I understand is to be out this year.

Any thoughts??

I've tried this solution. It failed. I've removed the device as described above, and it no longer appears on the list.

However, it re-appears whenever I turn on my bluetooth device and the device connects. That's not what I want.
