Bluetooth re-connection loop

For reasons we don't know yet, Windows can drop the Bluetooth connection and then re-connects the device again and drops the connection and re-connects again, and so on...

We have only seven reports so far. Here is possible help:

Power cycle your device

  • power off the mouse or trackpad,
  • power on again and
  • click to re-connect to Bluetooth.

Fully power off your computer

A user reported that a full Shut down of the computer, including turning off the power supply unit did help.

Here is the reference.

Disable the Bluetooth network connection

Another user reported that disabling the Bluetooth network connection helped:

  • Open Windows Settings
  • Select Network & Internet
  • Select Change adapter options
  • Right click on Bluetooth Network Connection ...
  • From the popup menu select Disable.

 

Device is paired but not working

In Windows 10, sometimes your device is paired, but it doesn't work, no matter if you have installed the Magic Utilities or not.

In Windows Settings > Devices make sure your device is listed in the Mouse, keyboard & pen section. If it's listed in the Other devices section it won't work.

Here is what did help:

  • Open Windows Settings > Devices.
  • Select your device.
  • Remove your device from Other devices and wait a bit.
  • (Restart your computer, optional)
  • Turn the Bluetooth radio off.
  • Turn the Bluetooth radio on again.
  • Pair your device again.
  • Double-check if it's now appearing in the Mouse, keyboard & pen section.

If the above doesn't work repeat these steps and restart your computer where mentioned.
