I have Windows 10 Pro on an Acer Swift notebook, NVDA and a Focus 40 connected bia Bluetooth. Bluetooth was working fine until a few weeks ago. Now it turns off 
when I turn off my Braille display. I asked 
about this on the NVDA list. It seems that Microsoft installed a new driver that is incompatible with the Bluetooth chip in this machine. It's not the first time 
Microsoft has caused trouble with its updates.
