[SOLVED] Bluetooth always off at start

Hi, since I upgraded to GNOME 42, the bluetooth of my laptop is always switched off by default at start / restart and I have to use the trackpad to activate it from the gnome shell top menu in order to use the mouse, and this is very annoying.
Is there any fix / settings / workaround I can play with?
Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] Bluetooth always off at start

For me, after latest updates (not quite sure exactly which) bluetooth now gets disabled after I lock the computer and try to login the next morning. It used to do the same when I logged out so I started to use lock instead of logout. But now it's the same either way. I need to disable/enable bluetooth from BIOS to make it work again. Otherwise just says no adapter found.

I've read the section "Adapter disappears after suspend/resume" from the wiki that perhaps could help, but my keyboard is bluetooth...

So what config might I need to change to force the system to never disable bluetooth? I already have AutoEnable = true and DiscoverableTimeout = 0, btusb is in the /etc/modules-load.d/btusb.conf.

"Fixed" it by setting

AutoEnable=true

in

/etc/bluetooth/main.conf

Thank'you so much!
