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

    So unbelievably frustrating. I've tried just about every solution available out there and there is still a random delay/lag with my Microsoft Bluetooth ergo precision mouse. I've tried the CsEnabled regedit trick, turned off just about every device manager setting that allows the computer "...to turn off this device to save power", removed/re-added the mouse, reinstalled Windows 10. Not a thing has helped. Still need to try an alternate vendor's bluetooth mouse but I very much like the ergonomics of this one. Hoping someone chimes in with a real fix.

    THANK YOU (U Go)!!!

    I have Asus B550-I with Intel AX200 Wifi6/Bluetooth. Using 2 or more PS4 controller on Bluetooth would disconnect ALL controllers except number1. My first work around was going back to Bluetooth driver 21.0.0.4 (5-Jul-2019) and I could use 7x PS4 controllers at once.

    Now that you helped me get the Power Management setting off, latest driver 22.40.0.2 (16-Feb-2021)****is working perfect for 7x PS4 controllers :D

    I turned the power management setting off for "USB Root Hub (USB 3.0)" above the Bluetooth driver.

    I have gone back to using the old 21.0.0.4 driver.

    New driver was still working perfect when my Wifi was disabled. But I took my PC to my OLED TV today for 4k/120hz and the controller issue was back when using Bluetooth+Wifi. I even tried turning off the "power management" setting on the Wifi card but didn't help.

    Simple rollback to 21.0.0.4 driver solved the issue.

    Yes, same problem here with a Razer Book 13 

    I have ticked off the power management from about 20 entries (everything I could find) from this lot. I have no idea why there are so many, I've only just bought laptops and have 2 bluetooth devices (mouse and keyboard)
