How to manage Bluetooth autoconnect paired devices on Win11

Question

I would like to choose which Bluetooth device connects automatically and which does not.

I have many Bluetooth devices and for some I would like to use the automatic connection function, for example for my headphones, when I turn them on I would like them to connect automatically, but for other devices such as smart speakers, every time I turn on the PC they autoconnect, and in this case it is an unwanted function. I would like all devices to remain paired to avoid having to repeat the pairing procedure for each device each time, but I want to choose which ones should connect automatically and which ones manually.

Is there a method or third party application that allows this?

Windows does not support this function, as far as I know. Have you done any research regarding this prior to asking here?

Does this answer your question? How do I keep my bluetooth headphones from connecting to my windows 10 machine when it's connected to my phone? — music2myear, Mar 13 '24 at 15:45
Often this function is done in the App. As noted not a Windows function. — John, Mar 13 '24 at 16:09
If you disconnect them once, Windows will not attempt to reconnect automatically until you log in again/wake from sleep. — Cpt.Whale, Mar 13 '24 at 16:19
