The logs and behaviour point in the same direction here.

Likely cause: Bluetooth interference or power management is suspending the adapter.

What I would try: Disable adapter power saving, move antennas away from USB 3 devices or use the Xbox Wireless Adapter for a dedicated connection.

Document the original value before changing it and restore it if the symptom remains.

I had not considered that component. I will verify its state before replacing any hardware.
