bluetooth paired devices not recognized from secondary boot

Post by steph68 »

Hello,

I create this topic in Hardware section, because that the only common thing between my two boots (Windows and Mint).

When the mouse is paired on windows, it's unusable on Mint. Then I have to remove it from Mint using bluetoothctl and add it again.

When the mouse is paired on Mint, it's unusable on Windows ...

any idea of the reason ?
