Windows 10: UX: Will Windows 11 address the Taskbar Bluetooth toggle issue?

In Windows 11, a single accidental click on the Bluetooth toggle rather than ">" in the taskbar disconnects all devices, including essential peripherals like keyboards and mouse, that will lock users out of their PCs. Potential Solution: If the keyboard and mouse are connected via Bluetooth, A simple confirmation prompt for Bluetooth disconnection could prevent this."Turning off Bluetooth will disconnect your keyboard and mouse and may leave you unable to control your PC. Do you want to proceed?" Is there an update addressing this in development?

Bluetooth on/off toggle button Windows 10

I have owned this machine for 2 and 1\2 weeks. As soon as I unboxed and connected it to the web I did the free windows 10 "upgrade" Had I known the issues with Bluetooth on this operating system I would have NEVER done the upgrade. I am using Bluetooth a lot
for my music. It has been nothing but a P I T A! The unit remains connected on Bluetooth and I cannot use the speakers. I must "remove" the Bluetooth device (my Yamaha V receiver) from the devices connected menu every time I want to get away from my HiFi.
The on\off toggle would be GREAT for this.....but it does not exist. I did what you suggested and it solved nothing. Again, I am a true "rookie"
