Bluetooth devices disconnect after some time on Surface Pro 6

Hello

I have a persistent problem with my Surface devices. After a machine has not been out of use for some time, but is running, my bluetooth devices disconnect and I have to stop and restart bluetooth to make them operable. I have also had a problem where my network connection to the internet is disabled and I cannot see any WI-FI access points - I then have to reboot to overcome the problem.

The issues started about six months ago.

I have done the obvious things - applied the latest Windows 11 updates and checked that drivers are up-to-date?

I would appreciate knwing if there is a solutions, thanks.

Recommended tools to scan for malware, keyloggers

I am attempting to run definitive Malware scans on my PCs and Laptops

I have run the Auslogics Malware scan but it found nothing.

It is suspected that there could have been a keylogger installed and I am trying to rule that out.

I have also run a one time free Malwarebytes scan which only found cookies.

I have not found a definitive tool to scan for malware including any keylogger.

How to restore BitDefender Plus after reinstalling Windows?

Maybe 10 days ago i bought/buy Bitdefender Antivirus Plus for 1 year contract and i have digital receipt and activation code. But my PC broke down and i reinstal the windows, and there is no more Bitdefender in my PC , there is no download only if you press buy again .... and on there web site when i log in is showing like the antivirus is working well and sa your PC is protected. That is my question, i know is unusual and strange sending but that's it. Thanks in advance even though I have no hope, I've literally tried everything.
Best regards Nikola

Non riesco ad attivare il SECURE BOOT

Ciao, non riesco ad attivare il SECURE BOOT. Il sistema risulta soddisfare tutti i requisiti ma quando abilito il Secure Boot, il sistema al riavvio va in Diagnostica e mi dice di non essere riuscito nel ripristino ... quindi devo disabilitare per poter continuare.
Ho il BIOS aggiornato ed in modalita' UEFI, i dischi in Base GPT... ma nulla
Accetto suggerimenti.
Grazie mille.

Cannot backup files to an external SSD

I run Win 11 Pro on my laptop. Until late September, I've never had an issue with the Win backup process to an external SSD drive, It's been a weekly automated process since I bought my laptop 3+ years ago. Only suddenly, it's not. It appears all the desired content from my C: drive SSD gets backed up, but whatever normally happens next fails, and I ger a message the backup didn't complete. I tried unchecking the checkbox to create a system image file, in case that was a problem. It made no difference. I tested and even reformatted the backup drive to NTFS standards. I've run out of things to try, but I still very much want a successful weekly data backup that's NOT to the cloud. Any suggestions? Thanks for whatever guidance you can offer.
