My experience with BLE on Windows is, that everything is really
sensitive when it comes to devices/BLE dongles and drivers. Can you give
more information on the hardware you are using?
Windows API does not have the concept of connecting to a BLE device, so
what we do behind the scenes is reading a characteristic if the device
is not connected. This will trigger a connect that is initiated by the
operating system. So the influence we have on the connection behavior
itself is quite limited. Perhaps the hardware you are using at least
gives some input.
Cheers, Olli
