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

    "The bluetooth mouse is glitchy" - my second grade kid was complaining. They moved the power management tab and other articles referring to old location aren't helpful. This one helped me and made my kid happy. 

    Thank you

    Hey, please see my post here. I just found a walk around for my BT keyboard connection issues and hope it will help your problem too. Though I am not exactly sure if yours are same as mine.

    oh forgot to mention, at step 1 of my post.  You may see a second item for your mouse labelled as 'HID low engery....'. I figured that was for BT mouse.  The first item was for my keyboard. So, uncheck 'low energy' one too if you see it. Then toggle USB 3.0 and 3.1 to see which one works for you.
