Ever since this update my Bluetooth mouse continues to freeze for a few seconds intermittently. I own a Microsoft Designer Bluetooth Mouse and

Microsoft Modern Bluetooth Mouse and the problem exists with both. Tried a Logitech Pebble and again, the same issue. I've tried the troubleshooter

  • it solves nothing. Tried to update drivers - nothing. Restarting Bluetooth - doesn't work.

No matter what attempts to resolve this problem I have discovered, they have all failed.

Can someone help me with this?

Right click the adapter and select Properties

Uncheck "Allow computer to turn off this device to save power"

Click Ok

    I just bought the Microsoft Modern Mobile Mouse and the same thing is happening on my Macbook.

    Sending the mouse back for another brand. Don't need silly things in my life.

    How would you know? I've had this issue a long time, well before May 2020.

    Check if you have another update available for your computer, this may fix the Bluetooth connection problem.
