Bluetooth Issues Since Surface Updates - 5 August 2021

Hi there, thanks for the reply. I shall try your solutions.

Much appreciated!

Hi everyone,

I have a surface pro 5 and can confirm that there are issues with the most recent windows update which made bluetooth wonky.

Some of my symptoms are:

1. bluetooth mouse disconnects and reconnects itself intermittently.
2. surface pen does not write properly. It will start writing itself even without touching the surface screen while hovering with the pen. This makes the pen almost impossible to use. I'm a teacher and require the pen daily as my teaching tool. This issue has totally wrecked my surface pro experience.
3. surface keyboard will not connect when it's connected to the surface at the 45 degrees angle. To make it work, I need to move it away from the screen and let the keyboard lie flat. Only then, will the keyboard respond.

Above issues are pressing issues as I had a perfectly working surface pro before the most recent firmware updates in August like what others have experienced here. If others have experienced such issues, I hope microsoft could roll out an update soon as you guys have disabled the ability to rollback updates.

Will try, thanks!

Yeah, I tried that solution last week early on, I don't connect to any VPNs and it still stopped working for me as well. I am currently using the solution I last posted about (likely right above this post). Perhaps you can try it and see if it works for you?

Well, it died (using the generic driver). But it died when I connected to my work network via VPN. Not sure if the generic driver doesn't play well with VPN's but this is when it happened.
