Bluetooth woes...

DHR · Wednesday at 08:47

Has anyone else experienced momentary complete loss of Bluetooth on a Windows 11 device at all, mouse, keyboard, headphones, everything drops for 10-15 seconds then returns?

Don't even know where to start troubleshooting it, event logs are showing very little, really strange.

I maybe completely wrong here. But could that be a power saving setting on the bluetooth module on the MB.

I guess drivers would be the first place to start. Is it bluetooth on the mobo? If so go to the mobo website and see if there are any new drivers. If it's a dongle, maybe just get another dongle and give it a go, they don't cost very much.

Drivers and that up to date, will check power profiles yeah

Power saving, batteries (if it has them) or drivers are 99% of the problems.

1% I've also seen firmware on the motherboard needing updated too, but not seen that for many years.
