Bluetooth devices disconnect (or connect) when starting KDE

Well...

I'm having a little weird bug with my Arch installs. I have a Dell G15 laptop with a Intel AX200 Bluetooth and both my Macbook Air M1 (running Asahi) and the MacBook Pro Intel i5 from work doing the same thing. When I login into my user from SDDM to KDE desktop it disconnect all nearby bluetooth devices.

For instance, my TV has a soundbar with bluetooth but its corrected to the TV via HDMI ARC, when I login the soundbar disconnects from the TV (i think a bluetooth connection request is beign made making the device disconnect from the TV). Also I have a JBL speaker in my office and both the M1 and the Intel disconnect the speaker from another computer or phone. I doesn't connect to my laptop, just this quick disconnect and I have to connect it back.

For me its a minor anoyance but its a very weird behaviour. Like the device acting as a jammer and I dont even know how to start troubleshooting this issue.
