How can I achieve the simple following functionality:
The reason for this, is that I have BT earphones that are connected to both my laptop and my phone, but on sleep mode, my laptop turns BT on and off every few minutes. This disrupts my listening when connected to the phone.
I have finally found a solution to this. Been aggravating me for months.
The hint lies here in this other question. Bluetooth adapters are generally connected internally via USB. Now for the solution.
Open up control panel, go to Hardware and Sound then edit power settings.
Next hit Change advanced power options.
Now expand USB Settings -> USB selective suspend setting
Set on battery to disabled.
Now whenever your computer is asleep and on battery USB will be inactive, therefore disabling Bluetooth as well. Of course the downside is USB will also not work for anything else, although I don't know what else you'd be doing with it while asleep and on battery. You can also change the setting for plugged in.
