Windows 10 missing Bluetooth power management tab

Anonymous

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

That's what I did indeed, but sadly to not much success. The problems are still there.

Not sure what else I can try... With a Logitech Unifying Receiver in the USB port there are no problems.

I also don't have problems with Bluetooth Audio, no dropouts or anything while the mouse is skipping frequently.

It occurs with a Logitech Pebble, Microsoft Sculpt and Thinkpad Mouse. All these work fine on other Computers even with the power save option set to on (They are not on 20H2 yet).

Have to check on Linux yet.

ATTENTION!

the OP (ridhwaans) solution is mostly correct but is not 100% complete.

There is an even more complete solution, and at least for me also more logical and easy to follow.

I posted it at the beginning of page 5. Till now it has a success rate of 100%.

If you click on the link on the top of this post, the one which says "In reply to U Go's post on August 21", you'll be directly brought there.

Happy festivities and, let's keep the fighting spirit, 2020 was a **** and more might come, but together we'll make it through :)

I have the same problems on a "Dell XPS 13 9310" with "Windows 10 Home 20H2". All bluetooth mice in this household have frequent lags and neither disabling some or all power management options in the device manager helped so far. It's incredibly annoying.
