My Airpods Pro work perfectly with my iPhone 6s and Watch SE. Loving the Auto-switch feature.
When I switch on Bluetooth on my Windows PC (with which the airpods are also paired), the Airpods connect automatically and unnecessarily with the PC, even if they are currently connected to my iPhone and currently playing music.
How do I stop this?
Hello barberlives123,
Thanks for replying to my question.
Unfortunately, that did not solve my issue.
Just today my iPhone was playing Music through my Airpods and the Airpods automatically switched to Windows PC as soon as I switched on Bluetooth.

Hi Ln.srini,
Thanks for trying that for us.
Looking over the article about AirPods auto switching to other devices, a PC is not mentioned, and the devices need to be using the same Apple ID.
Set up AirPods with your Mac and other Bluetooth devices
Scroll down to the "Switch devices automatically" section
What this tells us, is the issue is with the Bluetooth on the PC reconnecting automatically. We were able to find a Microsoft Community page with the steps for how to prevent your PC's Bluetooth from reconnecting automatically.
Disable bluetooth auto connect
If you need additional assistance with this issue, please contact Microsoft or your PC's manufacturer.
Take care!

We're happy to help with this issue you're having with the AirPods connecting to your Windows PC. To stop AirPods from automatically switching between devices, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the "i" next to the name of your AirPods, tap Connect to This iPhone, then tap When Last Connected to This iPhone.
