> Be me
> Wonder why my new Logitech bluetooth mouse keeps disconnecting from its bluetooth connection
> Use keyboard to go into Settings, turn BT off and then back on and it starts working again
> Think it's something blocking the signal, but it's not
> This happens every five fucking minutes now
> Check battery. Battery is brand new. Replace it anyway
> Every five minutes it dies, I have to go into settings, etc etc
> Finally have enough, look into buying new mouse
> Before purchasing, decide to look up any issues with this BT mouse
> Ask Grok, something that AI is actually very, VERY good for. Turns out Microsoft is entirely to blame
> The fix: you have to go into your Device Manager
> Device Manager is in your Control Panel
> Your Control Panel is a legacy windows interface that Microsoft is desperately trying their best to make you stop using for some fucking reason, they want you to use Settings instead
> But you can't apply this fix without opening your Device Manager
> Go into your Device Manager, open the Bluetooth pulldown, select Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R) and don't get ANY ideas about infringing on Intel's wireless bluetooth trademarks and copyrights because why the fuck else would they inform you of this in the fucking Device Manager
> Right-click, Properties. Select the Power Management tab
> Unclick "Allow this computer to turn off device to save power"
> MS apparently made it so that it turns the device all the way off, they set it to "ON", and they made that the default setting WITHOUT TELLING FUCKING ANYONE
> Begin to understand why everyone fucking hates Windows 11
