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

    I have Logitech's MX Master 3 and MX Keys and guess what... none of the alternative tricks mentioned here work for me on Windows 10 20H2 that is unfortunately automatically installed after some time of using anything older. Everything is fine on 1903 after disabling "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on Intel Wireless Bluetooth. On 20H2 after a few seconds of inactivity the BT connection is lost and disabling the power option on all of the devices in the BT tree in device manager does not help.

    I was about to give up and install Windows 10 LTSC 2019 which is the equivalent of 1809 when I remembered Windows 11 is available for testing.

    HALLELUJAH PEOPLE

    Power Management tab is back on Intel Wireless Bluetooth and the original trick again works!

    Exact version is Windows 11 21H2 22000.100.

    BTW is noticed that BT mouse and keyboard does not wake the machine up from sleep, that can be solved by disabling USB selective suspend is power options. Kind of intuitive when you think about it: cannot receive the event is the BT USB is powered down together with the screen.

    Thank you. That vid improved it for for me also. It is not intuitive that the finger print reader contributes to the issue however that was the case. The issue still persists unfortunately.
