I got this new keyboard. After being 10 Minutes inactive, the keyboard cuts its Bluetooth connection to save battery. Now when I want to type then, the keyboard needs 3-5 Seconds re-connection time, which is quite annoying.
Now my Question: How can I prevent the keyboard from cutting the Bluetooth connection. I thought of some script that somehow activates the keyboard every 5 minutes or so, but maybe there are better options than this.
Disabling the "Save Energy" function in Device Manager Settings isn't working for me. BTW: I'm using an external Bluetooth Receiver.

You should first assure that the system service “Bluetooth Support Service” has the Startup type of Automatic.
Then you should go into the Device Manager, locate all concerned devices connected to keyboard or Bluetooth and uncheck in their properties the property of “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”.
There are several classes of devices where such devices may be found, and you should search in all of them:
- Bluetooth Radios
- Mice and other pointing devices
- System devices
- Human Interface Devices
