Windows 10: Bluetooth device deactivated in device manager keeps reactivating itself

Win11 pro x64My motherboard has an integrated bluetooth device, however I also have a superior discreet intel wifi+bluetooth card installed in a PCIE port. I disabled the mobo's bluetooth device via device manager and set the intel device as the default, which worked fine for the first year or so I've had the intel card. However, an update within the past 3 months has caused windows to persistently disregard my settings and it now reactivates the integrated bluetooth device and sets it to default EVERY time I start the computer, resulting in my bluetooth speakers becoming nonresponsive. Simil

Bluetooth driver keeps failing

Everytime I restart my computer I see my bluetooth is missing. I check the driver and it looks like something is wrong with the driver. I go to Device Management, deactivate then reactivate it so it would be OK again. Or I remove the device from the list then scan hardware changes, then it fixes itself.. But why do I have to do it again and again? if it's working, why it keeps failing, if it fails, why fix itself after these steps?
