Windows 10 missing Bluetooth power management tab

Anonymous

Intel Bluetooth's Power management tab disappeared in Device Manager. There used to be a checkbox in Intel Bluetooth where I could turn on power saving for bluetooth accessories. I want to check "Allow the computer to turn of this device to save power". Now my wireless mouse is disconnecting frequently, making the PC almost unusable. How do I get it back or has it moved? (Have latest 2004 update, bluetooth drivers is latest version 21.90.2.1)

Note: I created a new DWORD key named CsEnabled with hexadecimal value 0 in Regedit under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power & restarted, but that did not work. Hardware hasnt changed

I found the Power management tab appearing in items in the Human Interface Devices category. Unchecked the option in Bluetooth Low Energy GATT compliant HID device and Bluetooth XINPUT compatible input device, and the issue went away

Hi Ridhwaans and all others who come here, Ridhwaans have shared a picture of how to get it which is the key. I tackled this problem this way and i go the tab by following a video. You should look for the option in human interface devices> hid device and the others sections which has bluetooth in them and if it is there then you are done. Remember that you need to turn off allow to turn off in every section. Follow this video which helped me a lot! (10) Bluetooth Freezing - No Power Management Tab - Supplemental Video - YouTube

It is unacceptable that they removed CSEnabled in 2004. I am running a plex server with 2x14TB drives on my NUC. I don't want those spinning up and down all day. Bring back the advanced power options with a regedit at worst!

Well, maybe there is a tool from the HDD makers themselves to control it. I fixed my WakeOnLan problem with a netwerk tool from intel themselves.

And yes, it's very annoying they are removing more and more options like that without a good alternative (or maybe there is but it's certainly not clear from the settings screens, it's one of the biggest problem I have with the direction Microsoft is taking, removing more and more options through screens (but still available if you 'hack' the registry).

I have done this as well, and it has significantly improved my situation for my mouse and trackpad, but the bluetooth Microsoft Ergonomic Surface Keyboard is still problematic.

Hi bro,

I have exactly the same issue as per described in Dell forum (the link you provided)

Is fixed the Mouse Bluetooth lagging issue, but now comes another problem, which is TouchPad lagging...

Had to trackdown again, why the TouchPad is lagging...
