Windows 10 missing Bluetooth power management tab

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

    Except I went through every device listed and changed them all.  Still no go.  I have to resort to using Logitech Unified USB radio in my laptops ONLY usb port. 

    This is massively inconvenient!  If anyone has any other suggestions, that'd be awesome...

    I solved my Bluetooth Mice issue in Windows 10 Bootcamp as of Feb 2021 with latest Mac OS big Sur update by following:

    1. Update MacOS and follow steps here to install Windows Support Software: https://support.apple.com/en-au/HT204923
    2. Update Windows. Went to Settings, Device Manager, bluetooth and update driver for all bluetooth radio and everything. Restart.
    3. Didn't work. Can't find Power Management Tab in Bluetooth radio? I followed steps: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-performance/windows-10-missing-bluetooth-power-management-tab/62e63e7d-9954-4898-b2a3-44fed70421c5?page=2

    "

    First, go to Device Manager > Human Interface Devices.

    1.Click on the "Bluetooth Low Energy GAT compliant HID device" and there's a power management tab in it. Disable/un-tick the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    1. Click on "I2C HID Device" and there's a power management tab in it. Disable/un-tick the "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". "
    2. Didn't work.
    3. Looked through every single line in Windows Device Manager, and disable/untick everything that power management tab > "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". " - Not sure of negative effects.
    4. Shut down MacBook and waited ten minutes. Boot up straight into Windows.
    5. Turned off bluetooth and turned on. Paired Logitech G604 mice and it is working now.
    6. I even bought the Logitech unifying receiver which I may not need now. Initially I deduce, the unifying receiver will not help as my Apple Mice did not work via bluetooth in Windows Bootcamp.
    7. The Logitech Mice have been working for the past hour and I will monitor.

    I hope this will help you.

    Regards,

    You have to dig around in the setting there to find it but it's there!!! YAY! I would have never found this otherwise.  Thank you!
