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 am not sure, or let's say I cannot believe, I need to not believe, that they might do something like this on purpose.

    It would be the most sadistic and stupid thing.

    Why removing this option in the Bluetooth and WiFi, but leaving it in other devices?

    It must be a mistake, a bug.

    Is there any official feedback from Microsoft about this?

    I'd like to know if they are aware of this and working on it to fix it...

    I'm chiming in to add that like ChristianConesa & JeffT33, I also now have this issue with a Dell XPS 13 2-in-1 7390 after updating to Windows 10 Version 2004.

    I had previously changed the power management settings in the bluetooth mouse section of the device management which are now missing.
