    long time lurker first post lol im on a work call, my over-ear headphones go silent, and i have to unplug and replug everything while people wait... again... this is what Device Manager shwoed afterwards:

    It seems worse when I'm downloading large files. Is that a real pattern or am I imagining it? Today it happened twice in one meeting and I had to swtich to the laptop speakers, which was embarrassing. I'd realy like to understand what is actually causing this before tomorrow. pls help 馃檹

    yeahhh if teh Bluetooth toggle diasppears from Quick Settings, the adapter is crashing... check Event Viewer > System for BTHUSB errors around teh drop times. hope that helps :)

    install the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi drivers from your laptop or motherboard mkaers support page ;) windows Update often provides a generic version that works but is less stable. worked for me anyway 馃し

    Device Manager > Bluetooth > your adapter > Power Management: untick 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' 馃槄 Do teh same for the Wi-Fi adapter, since it's the same chip. good luck man!

    lol same thing happened to me most built-in Bluetooth is on the same combo chip as Wi-Fi and shares the 2.4 GHz band 馃敟 If youre on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, switch to 5 GHz. Heavy downloads on 2.4 GHz can crowd out Bluetooth audio. good luck man!

    Remove the device from Settings > Bluetooth & devices, also remove any duplicate entries under Device Manager (View > Show hidden devices), then pair again from scratch.

    on desktops, the internal antenna is often a tiny wire or missing entirely. make suree the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antennas are screwed onto the back of the motherboard.

    disabling power management helps, but it can cost battery life on a laptop. try the driver update first.

    @emoreau_5 WHY are we still arguing about this. DOING IT YOURSELF. DONE.

    @noor.kowalski every single time someone suggests doing it yourself the thread gets longer and nothing gets fixed
