Windows Bluetooth keeps turning itself off
Windows has a power-saving setting that automatically turns off Bluetooth to save battery. On a desktop this doesn't make sense, but it's in most cases on anyway. We'll turn it off. If that doesn't work, a driver update or a corrupted setting is the culprit.
Windows Bluetooth turns itself off because of a power management setting designed for laptops to save battery. Sometimes a driver issue or incorrect Group Policy setting can also cause it. We'll check the power settings first, then update your Bluetooth drivers if needed.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Only turning on Bluetooth in Action Center without fixing the setting. Action Center changes are temporary.
- Not realizing there are separate driver updates for Bluetooth. Windows Update doesn't always get them.
Signs you need professional help
- If you've updated the driver and changed all the settings and Bluetooth still turns off, get in touch. It might be a hardware issue or a deeper system problem.
