Bluetooth connects then disconnects immediately

My MacBook Pro (early 2014) doesn't connect to my Bose Bluetooth speaker after APple's most recent upgrade.

Bose MicroLink connects then disconnects within five seconds. It's ok with a jack plug and outboard bluetooth adaptor so it must be the MacBook Pro.

I've switched off and rebooted, done the SMC reset (Shift-Control-Option-power on then power on) but still no results.

I've also checked "System Preferences - Sound - Output" but it only shows internal speakers as an option - no Bluetooth option

I have a similar request but not only for my Bose speaker Bluetooth connection. Actually the Bluetooth stop working and all connected products such mouse and keyboard are stopping working. It happens all the time.

Closing-Opening Bluetooth first do not do anything but after a few times it makes freeze even the System Preferences.

I reset - remove - reboot all several times but it always comes back.

Amazing annoying, just want to trow my macbook trough the window. Impossible to work.

Happened after the latest upgrade.

Please help if you have any solution as I cannot find any on the net.

Thanks.
