I got a new Thinkpad Bluetooth Mouse with my Thinkpad Yoga 370 and although I love the machine, the bluetooth isn't that great. I have to pair the mouse to use it everyday. After an hour or two of inactivity the mouse disconnects and I have to re-pair it. Anyone have a solution for this? Is this just Windows 10 behavior or something I'm missing in a setting on the machine?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Some things to try.
Note: Make sure to write down what changes you do make, so if needed you can set them back to the defaults if the steps below to not resolve your problem.
Set the Bluetooth Support Service from Manual (Trigger Start) to Automatic (trigger start) using the Services MMC applet
If it still is not working properly, try the following.
Disable power management for your bluetooth mouse
Good luck,

Not so fast. What is the deal with Bluetooth and Windows? My OSX and iOS devices 'just worked' perfectly, every time. This machine drops its connection to any Bluetooth device all day everyday, this morning I just gave up pairing headphones on the train after trying 20 times including 2 full reboots. **bleep**, is this as good as it gets? No wonder I spent a decade using Apple products, and happily so. No amount a screwing around got a simple pair of Bluetooth headphones to pair. Gave up, paired them to my iPhone and cursed all the way to work. Not fixed.

For further diagnosis would it be possible for you to please post your installed driver versions for WLAN and bluetooth respectively and then when you have time please try the following procedure and let us know your observations.
Configure the WiFi Preferred Band to 2.4 GHz . But, please do not connect to a 2.4 GHz WLAN yet.
Pair your bluetooth device (mouse, keyboard, or headset) and make sure that the device is functioning as expected.
Connect WiFi to a 2.4 GHz access point and observe whether or not the Bluetooth device stops functioning afterwards.
If so turn off bluetooth and turn it back on again to allow devices to reconnect.
Thanks in advance

Just as a follow up for information, a new BIOS has been released which includes an "important" fix for BT mouse and keyboard disconnection issues.
