Bluetooth manual connect

Currently, Windows 11 connects automatically to paired Bluetooth devices on start-up or when the Bluetooth device becomes available.
It would be great to implement a feature that controls which devices connect automatically just like the WiFi connect automatically checkbox. It is frustrating if your Bluetooth device doesn't have multipoint connectivity and Windows snatches the paired device as soon as it becomes available.

    You've perfectly identified a major pain point in Windows 11's Bluetooth management! This is a very common frustration, especially for users with single-connection headphones, speakers, or other devices that get "stolen" by the PC when they're meant to be used with a phone.
