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

    This is fantastic. I did not know about the "view by connection" option either. On my system my Bluetooth is indeed connected under USB Root Hub which I would have never guessed.

    I just disabled power saving on the two parent USB devices and also on my Wireless/Bluetooth radio. So far I seem to be good, hoping this does the trick. Thanks so much for the tips you two. Maybe I can go on with enjoying my weekend now!

    Hi, nicely done !

    I did not know the trick of 

    1. first select 'Intel Wireless Bluetooth' from device manager
    2. then select 'view by connection'.

    This shows Intel Wireless Bluetooth under USB 3.0 eXtensible Host controller which I should un-check power management.

    This is way much easier than I toggled the multiple USB 3.0/3.1 Host Controller and guessed blindly which one would work :)

    Hope this will help Patrick's issue too.

    Well, I have the same kind of problem, but for me I actually need to turn the option ON for my network adapter, but in previous version using the regkey I got the powermanagement tab back (windows v1909) , but I had to reinstall 2004 as the upgrade botched, and now I wanted to enable it so I can wake my computer up through LAN because of remote working. And now even using the regkey it doesn't show the power management tab anymore.. OMG why the hell do they remove stuff that's needed for proper working of pretty basic stuff..

    I just hope I can find how how to turn it on without the tab, so it should change some registrysetting or something.
