Bluetooth mouse fails to reconnect automatically after waking from sleep in Windows 11
After the computer wakes up from sleep mode, the paired Bluetooth mouse often fails to connect automatically; I have to manually remove the device and pair it again before it works.

Hmm, is USB selective suspend turned on in your PC?
1. Open Control Panel and navigate to Power Options
2. Click on "Change Plan Settings" next to your Power Plan
3. Click on "Change Advanced Power Settings" and scroll to USB Settings and select "USB selective suspend."
4. Disable "On battery" and "On Power"
If that doesn't work, Open Device Manager>USB controllers>open all instances of USB generic/root hub and uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
