bluetooth mouse only works when setting page is open

Hi, I am using bootcamp and windows 10. Suddenly my bluetooth mouse only works when the settings page is open.. and sometimes not even then. I tried everything:


  • power management broadcom network adapter
  • broadcom driver back to earlier version
  • bluetooth radio on enable
  • bootcamp windows support software newly installed


I am running out of options.. every other post finally solved the problem with one of the above measure.. What else can I do?


best regards Albert

Windows, 10

Good morning,


I paired the BT mouse in MacOS and it works.. it does not work in Windows. I did not pair as suggested. After pairing the mouse worked for a short time in windows and quit again.. It started working again after opening the bluetooth setting page until I hit a key on the keyboard. This can be repeated multiple times.. opening settings page and use the mouse until I hit a key..
