Having Bluetooth Stuttering Issues on Windows 10

As I read all of these reply's and suggested fixes, I'm frustrated by all of this.  I have tried some of these suggestions dating back weeks and nothing seems to work.  No, I have not tried everything but we should not need to jump through hoops to get this simple thing to work.  I paid a lot of money for my Surface and thought I was getting the latest and greatest thing.  

The processes needs to be absolutely idiot proof and way too much time has been spent on attempting a fix.  As with my Android phone, I should be able to connect my Bluetooth earbuds and have the process work seamlessly.  Working through multiple settings

• experimenting with turning things on and off should never be necessary.  This is ridiculous.  

Microsoft - Please fix this.

Likewise, I found the Bluetooth audio stuttering issue mostly occurred when my laptop was on battery power (Lenovo Yoga C930). The issue was much less prevalent when the laptop was connected to a power adapter.

The bluetooth chip is on the Intel 9260 wireless adapter. I followed Intel's instructions for setting power management on their wireless adapters here: https://www.intel.co.uk/content/www/uk/en/support/articles/000005879/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html 

I changed 'power saving mode' to 'maximum performance' while on battery and that seems to have reduced the issue for me. I saved a separate power plan with this setting that I can switch to when I'm using my bluetooth headphones.

I also had to use the following guide from Dan Antonielli to enable the advanced power settings in the first place: https://danantonielli.com/missing-device-power-management-options-fix/

HI

Thanks to everyone who replied on this one.

I tried nearly everything but nothing worked until I did this SIMPLE SIMPLE thing. 

I found the easiest fix to the problem. I turned off the Bluetooth connection on my phone. I think what was happening is that every 10 seconds some pulse goes out looking - and when that happens the headset gets confused as to whether it should stay being connected to the laptop or change to the phone - creating a short (200msish) silence in the headset. 

So my simple solution is 'disconnect' the headset from the phone in Bluetooth settings while/before connecting to the laptop.

cheers

it is something to do with wifi and bluetooth frequency. Try turning of WiFi connection while using wireless audio devices.. the problem will get fixed...

Already tried

But nope, it doesn't works.

If that's the problem that you think is, then the problem should also persist on android phones. But the things works perfectly on android phones.
