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 encountered the same issue too after upgrading to version 2004.

    "Intel(R) Wireless Bluetooth(R)" device has not any "Power Management" tab.

    Also I uncheck all the power saving checkboxes found on device manager but not work.

    Seems to there is no solution yet.

    (Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro / Windows 10 2004)

    I fixed this issue on my Dell laptop by unchecking the checkbox under power management under the Human Interface Devices category, as proposed by @ridhwaans.

    I don't know why but Microsoft moved this option from Bluetooth devices to Human Interface Devices category.

    Regards

    In Windows 10 PRO 20H2, the tab is named Bluetooth HID device under Human Interface Devices Category.  Spent a long time on the official support site and it kept pointing to the power tab in Bluetooth

    Just want to report, that neither setting the registry value, nor disabling the power management for the whole device dependency tree helps me with the mouse lag on my Dell XPS 13 9310 on Windows 10 Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041, with Logitech MX Master 3, Logitech Anywhere 3 and some cheap no-name bluetooth mouse.
