  1. How to Prevent Windows from Autoconnecting Paired Bluetooth Audio Device without Unpairing it?


    It's quite unacceptable to be interrupted when I listen to music via bluetooth earbuds connecting to my iPhone just because I opened the lid of my portable pc and it says "all your bluetooth devices must connect to me!" What the hell was Microsoft thinking and causing this VERY big inconvenience! I've never had such bad experience with Apple products.


    It's not weird people around me have always been referring Windows 10 as Buggy 10. I didn't understand why until the day came when I have to use a Windows-based computer at work. All the convenience I got used to with macOS have gone and substituted with all sorts of problems manufactured by Microsoft.


    I searched the webs for a solution only ended up with "removing/unpairing your bluetooth earbuds from Windows 10", which would apparently and simply bring up even more troubles. Don't say it's just clicks away. Just imagine that I have to repeat this set of clicks a couple of times in just one day... It's tons of miles away from feeling good!


    Will you Microsoft personnel offer a better answer to this or will you fix this annoying problem asap?


    Thank you in advance.

    :)

  2. Bluetooth Devices Automatically Reinstall, and cannot be unpaired


    The issue is; when I pair a device with my computer using Bluetooth I am no longer able to unpair, or even uninstall the device, as if i do, somehow windows will just automatically reinstall it even if it's not connected. This means that if i connect the device to something other than my computer, I can no longer re-pair it with my computer as it thinks that the device is still paired.

    When I pair the device from the Bluetooth section of control panel, the device will disappear from the control panel Bluetooth menu, and the only way to see that the device is connected is by looking in device manager.
    Here is an image I have found of what the Bluetooth section of the control panel should look like with paired devices:

    Now here is what mine looks like even though I have a number of devices connected:

    Here's what I've Tried
    I have removed, and completely uninstalled all Bluetooth devices from the PC using device manager (even the hidden devices), and also uninstalled all Bluetooth applications from the control panel.
    After doing the previous steps, I reconnect the Bluetooth dongle (ASUS BT-400) and install the driver I downloaded from the Asus website. As soon as the driver for the device install, all of the previously paired (since time began) devices will install and windows will think they air all paired (again I can see this though the device manager).

    I had this issue when I was on windows 8.1 and I have it again now. I did a clean install of windows 10, and the issue still persists even though I have tried two different Bluetooth adapters (to make sure one wan't faulty). How is Windows storing these devices to re-install even though they're not connected?

    Cannot unpair Bluetooth device

    Thanks for your reply. I tried the Audio trouble shooting. It said the Bose speaker was unplugged. But as the Bluetooth device was in paired state and it could be not connected.

    I also tried to unpair the other devices like keyboard and mouse and maybe for the same reason, they could not be unpaired.
