Windows 10: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse is paired but won't connect.

I have had this mouse for months and it worked yesterday but not today. I have updated Windows. I have unpaired the device and installed it again. I have turned bluetooth on and off. I have checked drivers. Nothing works. I have owned this type of mouse for years and this happens once or twice a year. What is the real solution (other than buy another type of mouse, which I might).

Sculpt Comfort Mouse not pairing

See subj. - Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse refuses to pair with Windows 10 (installed in Boot Camp on MacBook Pro) - So far I did as follows: started Windows, opened Settings - Bluetooth box, then turn my mouse on, then pressed and held the 'pairing' button
on it, the mouse appears on the list of discovered devices, I select 'Pair' and after a second or so Windows says 'Could not pair, try again and make sure the mouse is discoverable again' - and the mouse disappears from the list and is not seen again there
until I restart Windows. I repeated the same procedure dozens of times and so far was unsuccessful at pairing it in Windows 10.

I tried downloading Mouse & Keyboard Centre from the MS site, but it didn't help. I tried to update Bluetooth drivers - this didn't work. I launched all possible & imaginable troubleshooters etc etc - it didn't work. Can Microsoft please explain why its own
product refuses to work on its own Operating System????

The most amusing fact is that the same Microsoft mouse works and pairs perfectly in OS X on the same machine.

Equipment: Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse (Bluetooth), MacBook Pro 15'', OS Windows 10 Home (2nd release) in Boot Camp, all updates etc. installed.

 

Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse Must Be Removed & Re-Paired To Be Used

I have a Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Mouse paired on both my Dell XPS 15 L521X and Asus VivoTab Note 8, both running Windows 10, and the following behavior occurs on both.

I can successfully pair and discover the device, and it functions fine. But if I shut down the mouse and bluetooth on the computer, then turn it on at a later time, the device does not automatically reconnect. Instead, I must first unpair the device, then
re-pair it.

When I open Show Bluetooth devices upon a shutdown, I do see that the device is still paired. However, when I turn on the mouse and hit the bluetooth pairing button on it, it does not reconnect, although the indicator light is flashing, suggesting its discoverable.
Only after I un-pair and re-pair does it work.

I do have Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center installed on both devices.

Is there any way to get these devices to connect with the Sculpt Comfort Mouse when discoverable without having to un-pair and re-pair each time? Thanks.
