So an interesting development in this is that after a reboot, I am now starting to see notification bubbles pop up when the mouse goes AWOL that say: Authorization request from 'Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse' with a "Check authorization" button it. When I click that I get a dialog popping up that says: Grant access to '<uuid>' Device 'Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse' (<MAC address>) wants access to the service '<uuid>'. With both a Reject and a Grant button as well as an "Always grant access" checkbox. Clicking Grant restores the functionality of the mouse and clearly I could click the Always grant access checkbox to have this automatic. I just wonder what this functionality is. I never had it with my previous Logitech bluetooth mouse. Cheers, b.
