Magic mouse turns off/ disconnects after 1-2 seconds under bootcamp when not used and turns on while shutting down

Hello everybody,

I've installed Windows on my macbook via bootcamp. Everything works fine but my magic mouse work doesn't work properly at all. It only works when I delete the mouse under Windows' bluetooth settings and then add it again. However, it turns off immediately when I stop moving it. The connection is gone and I have to delete the device and add it again. It turns off again after 1-2 seconds when not used and so on.

Interestingly the mouse starts working again after I press the shut down button and windows shuts down. Obviously this is really annoying. Can anybody please help?


Kind regards

David

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Bluetooth collaboration seems to be turned on. (Even though I switched to English some settings remained in German and it says bluetooth Kompatibilit't whichs translates to bluetooth compatibility so I guess that must be the same as collaboration?) Might it have something to do with the fact that I I only have the generic bluetooth radio device (with no power management tab) and not the apple broadcom built in bluetooth. Whenever I try to install the latter by browsing my computer for drivers and than manually choising it by picking from the list there is an error.

Since it it is an apple variant, shouldn't I have the apple broadcom built in bluetooth drivers which do not work?


Yes, I do have the Power management tab for the Broadcom network adapter (but not for the bluetooth radio) and already disallowed it to turn off.


Btw, why are there two setting for bluetooth within microsoft's device manager? The general bluetooth subtree (bluetooth radio in my case) and the broadcom network adapter under the network adapters subtree?
