Q: Whenever I boot up/switch on my MacBook Pro with Magic Mouse previously connected, the Magic Mouse connects immediately, but other Bluetooth devices in the background automatically connect as well?

Title says most. So I presume this is sort of a problem with the "auto" connect Bluetooth feature with the Magic Mouse. It hasn't happened before before I decided to get a Magic Mouse. It's really irritating, whenever I just wake the computer up from sleep, other Bluetooth devices in the background decide to start connect automatically (even though they were not connected before). Is this problem just me?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)

    Hi Alan, 

    I understand that all your Bluetooth devices are connecting after you start your computer. Now that will be the case if the devices are turned on, your Mac will pair this devices. Take a look at the information below fore more details. 
     

    Connect to Bluetooth devices after wake or startup

    Bluetooth devices are usually available a few moments after your Mac completes its startup process. After waking from sleep, your Mac should find Apple wireless devices right away. Other wireless devices can take up to 5 seconds to be recognized. You might need to click a button on your wireless mouse to wake it up.

    Some Bluetooth devices, such as audio headsets, might disconnect to conserve the device's battery power after no audio or data is present for a certain amount of time. When this happens, you might need to push a button on the device to make it active again. Check the documentation that came with your device for more information
