Disable Bluetooth Auto Reconnection (Headphone Hijacking)

Hello. I use a pair of Bose QC-35 wireless earbuds and Sony WH-XB910N Bluetooth headphones for my phone (S23 Ultra), Tablet (Tab S8+), and Laptop (ASUS Flip 15 Pro OLED, Windows 11, latest update).

The Bluetooth devices work as expected (and as desired) with my phone and tablet. If I am listening to music from my phone and turn on my tablet, the earbuds stay connected to the phone. Then, if I go to my tablet BT settings and select 'Jeremy's Earbuds' from the 'saved devices' menu, they will switch to the tablet. This works perfectly and is exactly how I want it to function.

My laptop operates in the exact opposite way, instead being as inconvenient and annoying as possible. Every time I get within 100 feet of my laptop it will immediately hijack the Bluetooth connection of any previously paired BT device, even if the laptop is in sleep mode. Holding down the power button to completely shut down the machine stops the auto pairing, but it also removes all of the benefits of sleep (quicker startup, apps instances saved, background updates, etc..) and the issue obviously returns as soon as I need to use the laptop again. This means if I am watching Netflix on my tablet and turn on my laptop to edit some photos or send a quick email, my headphones are immediately connected to the laptop, even if media is actively playing on my tablet.

My only options currently are to work around the issue by either manually unpairing the Bluetooth devices every time I stop using them on the laptop, or to disable Bluetooth on the laptop every time I put it away. Disabling Bluetooth is easy enough, but it then makes it impossible to use my Bluetooth mouse on the computer while listening to music on my phone.

I know Windows settings has a 'show notifications to connect using swift pair' option under Bluetooth settings, but this option only controls those 'do you want to connect to XXX device?' popups that happen when an unknown BT device is put into pairing mode nearby, which is actually a useful feature. This setting does not impact paired device reconnection.

Just to get this out of the way, I am a tech savvy software engineer and have already scoured the internet to find a solution. Yes, I have checked my power saving settings. Yes, I have disabled swift pair. Yes, I have told device manager to disable BT device on sleep. Reinstalled drivers. Edited registries. Reinstalled Windows. Updated BIOS. Nothing works.

Please, please, please make a setting that allows users to stop this Bluetooth hijacking. It is beyond annoying and is genuinely making me consider a MacBook. It's that inconvenient.
