So I've been noticing something strange with my Windows 11 laptop lately. Whenever I connect my Bluetooth headphones, they work fine for a bit, but then randomly disconnect out of nowhere. It's super annoying because it interrupts my music or calls. I tried updating the Bluetooth drivers, rebooted the system, and even unpaired and re-paired the headphones, but the problem still pops up.

Other Bluetooth devices like my mouse and keyboard seem to work without issues, which makes me wonder if it's something specific to audio devices or maybe the headphones themselves? The headphones work perfectly on my phone, so I'm leaning toward a laptop or Windows 11 issue.

Has anyone experienced similar Bluetooth dropouts on Windows 11? Any tips or tricks to keep the connection stable would be amazing!

Sounds like a frustrating issue! Since your other Bluetooth devices work fine and the headphones are solid on your phone, it might be worth checking if Windows 11’s power management settings are messing with the Bluetooth adapter. Sometimes, the system tries to save power by turning off devices, which can cause random disconnects. You can try going into Device Manager, find your Bluetooth adapter, right-click > Properties > Power Management tab, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

Also, some users have found that disabling the "Audio Enhancements" in Sound settings helps with Bluetooth headphone stability. If you haven’t tried that yet, it’s worth a shot. If nothing works, a quick test with a Bluetooth dongle (if you have one lying around) might help isolate whether the built-in adapter is the culprit.

I've had similar Bluetooth headphone dropouts on Windows 11, and it turned out to be a mix of power management and interference issues. Besides checking the power settings like @TechWhiz mentioned, I found disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" for the Bluetooth adapter in Device Manager helped a lot.

Also, try toggling the Bluetooth audio codec if your headphones support it—sometimes switching from aptX to SBC or vice versa can stabilize the connection. If your laptop has both 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth running, there can be interference, so switching Wi-Fi to 5GHz might reduce dropouts.

Since your headphones work fine on your phone, it’s probably not the headphones themselves. If none of this helps, sometimes a Windows update or rolling back to a previous Bluetooth driver version can fix weird compatibility issues. Fingers crossed you get it sorted soon!
