bluetooth quick connect or disconnect for windows 10 or 11.md

How to make a 1 click connect to bluetooth device button

making a shortcut

• Install Bluetooth Command Line Tools
• you can use the command line tools to display all device ids by simply running btdiscovery
• Create a Connect batch script:

	btcom -r -b aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -s110b
	btcom -c -b aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -s110b

• Create a Disconnect batch script:

	btcom -r -b aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff -s110b

• Open Task Scheduler and Create Task
• Select Run whether user is logged on or not and Hidden (This will launch the script in the background so you don't see a command window pop up, or in your taskbar)
• Select Run with the highest privileges
• From Actions tab, select your Connect batch script
• Save and enter your password
• Do the same as above for Disconnect, but Run with the highest privileges is not required.
• Now create a new shortcut for Connect and Disconnect
• For Target enter C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /tn "Name of your Connect/Disconnect Task"
• Add custom icons to the shortcuts if you like
  • find an image and remove the background
  • convert the transparent png image to a .ico

Adding to start menu

You have two options:

• Move shortcuts to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
• Pin to start menu

Connect works great. Disconnect does nothing. I'm trying to connect/disconnect to an audio device (hearing aids).

Install Bluetooth Command Line Tools

For those searching, here is a link:

Also, you can use this AHK script to bind it to a hotkey:
I use Win+C for connect and Win+Shift+C for disconnect. I added the 111e code to make sure I never have the Hands Free Profile enabled, because I don't use the mic and the audio quality is worse. Also, MS Team likes to force you to use the HFP if it is available....

#c::
  Run, %ComSpec% /c btcom.exe -r -b "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" -s111e , ,Min
  RunWait, %ComSpec% /c btcom.exe -r -b "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" -s110b , ,Min
  Run, %ComSpec% /c btcom.exe -c -b "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" -s110b , ,Min
Return 
#+c::
  Run, %ComSpec% /c btcom.exe -r -b "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" -s111e , ,Min
  Run, %ComSpec% /c btcom.exe -r -b "aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff" -s110b , ,Min
Return

@Alistair1231 ty for this, works perfectly for me <3

Thanks, very helpful! :)

This works fine, but for me, each of the two btcom commands take 10–15 seconds to run, so it takes about 25 seconds to connect my Airpods. When I'm in a hurry it's faster to open the Bluetooth settings and manually clicking connect. (There connecting takes just a few seconds).

Anyone else with this problem, or even better, a solution?

Yeah it is pretty slow, this is because it first tries to disconnect to make sure it always works properly.

As an alternative to connecting to a specific device, you can instead create a hotkey for the bluetooth quick menu from windows.
Essentially you just need to have some way to set a hotkey to execute explorer "ms-actioncenter:controlcenter/bluetooth"

To do that with Autohotkey, save a file as for example bluetooth-quick-menu.ahk with the following content:

; ^ is Ctrl / # is Win / ! is Alt / + is Shift
; Win + K hotkey for Windows Quick-Menu to (dis)connect Bluetooth devices
#k::
  Run, explorer "ms-actioncenter:controlcenter/bluetooth"
Return

When you run this script, it will make a globally usable Hotkey (Win+K) available, that opens the Bluetooth quick-menu when activated.

---

By default Win+K is a Display Casting quick-menu. I never use this, but maybe you do. In that case, just adapt the Hotkey to for example #+k:: to use Win + Shift + K instead.

---

You can also make this Script open automatically after you reboot.

1. Open the "Run" menu e.g. with Win+R
2. enter shell:startup
3. press ok / This opens a folder: C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
4. Here, you want to add either the ahk file itself, or a shortcut to the file.
5. It will now start on every boot, as long as you are able to run the file by double clicking it.
