How to disconnect a bluetooth device without turning off bluetooth.

[mkenyon2]

In windows 10 mobile, I can go into my bluetooth devices, and 'disconnect' a specific device. In Windows 10, I can only 'remove' the device (which I don't want to do) or turn off BlueTooth altogether.

Does anybody know a way to just disconnect a device? For instance, I want to have my headphones connect to my phone instead of the PC.

'Remove device' is probably not the best choice of words they could have used on this! When you close the process (i.e. 'disconnect' your headphones) on your PC, you are performing the same function as what you describe on your phone. You are not actually removing the device, just closing the process. I hope that makes sense!

Clicking 'Remove' removes it from the list. Whereas on mobile, disconnecting, leaves it in the list, and you can then later 'reconnect'.
If my headphones are on, and Win10 shows them as Paired, there is no 'Connect' option. The only way to reconnect them that I've found is to re-pair them.
