Bluetooth headphone connection issues with PC

Hi all,

I recently got these Bose bluetooh headphones: Bose® SoundLink® on-ear BLUETOOTH® headphones

They're great and they connect to my laptop (with built-in bluetooth) perfectly fine. My desktop at work is another issue. I had to get a bluetooth dongle so I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010AF7E4Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If I let me headphones disconnect (turn them off or after an ~hour of inactivity) I have to physically take the dongle out of the usb port and reinsert it to force the dongle to turn back on so that headphones can reconnect. Is there an easier way? Sometimes it takes a couple of tries for it to connect properly.

I just hit the play button on my Sony's and they connect/reconnect. If you are saying that the dongle itself is getting shut off then go into Device Manager, Bluetooth Dongle, Power Management, and uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

If that still doesn't help, get a BT dongle with a proper Broadcomm chip and driver.
