Fed up with Bluetooth lag on Surface Pro 4
Since I installed the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, my Bluetooth experience has been miserable. I use Surface Mouse, Surface Keyboard, Surface Dial, Surface Pen, and a couple different Jabra Bluet...
Interestingly, another (probably unrelated, but who knows?) Bluetooth issue late last week forced me to reset Windows on my Surface Pro 4. I did the "keep my files" type of reset, but it was the first time I'd completely reset Windows since last May. And I will say the issue seems to be much better ever since. My Bluetooth lag is not gone completely, but it's now extremely intermittent and only barely noticeable. As this is my work PC, I can never be sure that it's not due to some goofy configuration or AD policy that my IT department has applied. So, I'll keep an eye on it and update here as possible. Thanks!
I can tell you that this isn't from your AD. I have the same problem and that is without my device going to sleep.
- So, a few weeks ago after trying to troubleshoot this for some time, I decided to just bite the bullet and reset my Surface Pro 4. I was initially a little hesitant, because it's a domain connected PC, and I didn't want to have to get IT involved. However, it turns out that resetting doesn't actually remove the device from the domain. Best decision I ever made. No more Bluetooth lag, plus pretty much every other issue that has plagued my Surface since I got it has been blown away. I now have a fresh and relatively factory standard Surface and the difference is night and day. I wish I had done this 6 months ago. Of course, I had to reinstall all of my apps, but thankfully my IT Department makes most of that available via self-service portals anyway.
