    Hey guys, I have a Sennheiser PXC310BT headphones that i've been using for a while with the M11x and my ipad, etc.

    Everyone once an a while the M11x will just disconnect the bluetooth and it disappears from the control panel so I can't even find it again to reconnect o my headphones.

    Has anyone ever experienced this? It's pretty annoying and usually after a restart I'll get the bluetooth back and all i have to do and restart my headphones and it'll connect again. But I just did that and the bluetooth is still nowhere to be found. I even did the search command and the bluetooth program doesn't launch when I click.

    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

    I do not have bluetooth myself however give this a try..
    Go into device manager and right-click properties under bluetooth module and try to see if under the power management tab if 'Turn off this device to save power' is enabled. (Obviously disable it to fix your issue)
