Seems like there was quite a big update for Windows 10, as my computer went through the same process as when I updated from Windows 7, with the whole circle and percentage thing and the whole update took quite a while.


Anyhow, now my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 5000 is not working properly any more. When the computer restarted after the update, the keyboard was not working any more but it was listed in the Bluetooth menu as Connected under the name Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000.


I have to remove the device, pair it again and then it works. If I don't use it for a while it stops working and if I go back to the Bluetooth Settings it shows for a brief period "Driver Error" under the keyboard, then shows the progress bar, as it is connecting again, it says connected but it still doesn't work. I have to remove and pair it again all the time.


My bluetooth adapter does not have the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" check-box selected, the keyboard worked fine until the latest update, both on Windows 7 before and on Windows 10.


The latest updates shown in the history are:


https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3142588

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3140768


And here http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/update-history-windows-10 looks like 3140768 has the following feature:


Improved support for Bluetooth, wearables, and apps accessing contacts.


So really great to not be able to use my Microsoft keyboard any more with Microsoft Windows and the great new Bluetooth improvements!
