My Mac resets "When Last Connected to This Mac" setting

I listen to AppleMusic on my iPhone while using my Mac because the Music app on the Mac sucks, so I want the bluetooth connection settings for my AirPods Pro to be on "When Last Connected to This Mac." My Mac seems to remember this setting when while I'm logged in, but as soon as I log out and log back in, it resets itself to automatically connect to my AirPods. Any suggestions?

Philip Forsberg,


Got it, thank you for clarifying. You could see if a normal restart may help resolve this. Another step you can take is to temporarily start in safe mode and then restart out of safe mode normally, then see if the issue continues. Safe mode only allows certain software to load, which can help isolate this further. You can read more about that here: How to use safe mode on your Mac


You could also test this in a temporary new user: Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac A new user doesn't have custom or changed settings, and can help determine possible next steps or isolate this issue as well.


Take care.

Hey Philip Forsberg,


We understand that the "When Last Connected to This Mac" setting resets itself each time you log out and back into your user account on your Mac. When you log out of your user, is that when restarting your Mac? We're wondering if the Mac has been restarted fully when this happens.


Also, you can see if updating your Mac may help:


Let us know if that helps or if you still encounter this issue.


Best wishes to you.
