How to Fix Windows 11 Bluetooth Keeps Disconnecting

Bluetooth devices can disconnect repeatedly in Windows 11 because of low battery, interference, drivers, power management, or a damaged pairing. These steps can help stabilize the connection.

1. Check the device battery

Charge the Bluetooth device and keep it close to the PC while testing. Low battery can cause intermittent connections.

2. Remove and pair the device again

  1. Open Settings → Bluetooth & devices → Devices.
  2. Find the affected device.
  3. Remove it.
  4. Put the device into pairing mode.
  5. Select Add device and pair it again.

3. Reduce interference

Move the device closer to the computer and temporarily disconnect other nearby Bluetooth devices. USB 3 devices and other wireless equipment can sometimes contribute to interference.

4. Update the Bluetooth driver

Open Device Manager, expand Bluetooth, and update the adapter driver. For laptops, check the manufacturer’s official support page for the latest compatible driver.

5. Check Windows updates

Install available updates under Settings → Windows Update and restart the PC.

6. Check power management

Open the Bluetooth adapter properties in Device Manager and review the available power management options. If Windows is allowed to turn the adapter off to save power, test whether changing that setting improves stability.

Final thoughts

Re-pairing the device, reducing interference, and updating the adapter are the best places to start when Bluetooth repeatedly disconnects.
