Every day, my bluetooth on my Surface Laptop disconnects and reconnects for no reason.  I am using a microsoft designer mouse and keyboard.  This happens multiple times each day.

I have tried all the standard items,

readding the bluetooth device

restarting the computer

ensure the laptop power settings are correct

making sure all updates have been installed

etc.

Anyone having these issues?  Any fix ?

    Exactly tha same issue.  Bought the Surface Laptop 3 two week ago (to replace my previous Surface tablet) and the standard Microsoft Bluetooth 'Surface Mouse'.  Mouse intermittently cuts out.  I have tried the fix posted above and have made sure drivers are up to date.  The mouse continues to cut out.  Any news on a solution?

    Thanks.

    In relation to this last post I tried something which so far (several hours) has resulted in no loss of connection from my Bluetooth Surface mouse.

    1 - Carry out the advice above regarding going to Device Manager - Human Interface Devices - Bluetooth Low Energy GATT... - Power Management  - and uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power...

    2 - Go back to Device Manager - Bluetooth - I have found that (at least on my Surface Laptop 3) that the only Bluetooth Device that has an option to alter the Power Management setting is the Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth - click that and uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save poweroption.

    So far so good.  Hope it works for you.

    1 - Carry out the advice regarding going to Device Manager - Human Interface Devices - Bluetooth Low Energy GATT... - Power Management  - and uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power...

    2 - Then also go back to Device Manager - Bluetooth - Power Management - Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth - click that and uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save poweroption.

    Hope it works for you.  Regards.

    After many attempts to rectify I am pleased to report that the fix above worked. I tried everything and Mikes post above works. This is clearly a widespread issue and we need a fix from Microsoft. Thank you Mike. Awesome.

    Thanks mike! Disabling the power saver for 'Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 Bluetooth' was the solution for me.
