Windows 11 Why do my Bluetooth headphones keep cutting out randomly?

My Bluetooth headphones work fine on my phone, but on Windows 11, the audio keeps cutting out every few minutes. I’ve tried updating drivers, but it still happens. Any fixes?

    Here's something most people don't know: your headphones have two modes. Stereo mode (for high-quality music) and Hands-Free mode (for calls). Windows sometimes forces your headphones into Hands-Free mode, which sounds terrible and cuts out constantly.
