  1. I don't know why but this keeps happening to me to. This isn't a solution just a mere workaround.

    For me, I needed to toggle on the button multiple times to get it working. I posted this on reddit if you want to see it.

    You can install bluetooth quick connect extension from here. This mostly automatically connects your bluetooth device to your pc. And you can also install blueman by using sudo apt install blueman as an alternative if the extension isn't working correctly.
