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

    U Go's solution seems to be working for me.

    In my case, I found that the 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' was enabled for one of the HID-complaint consumer control devices associated with my Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile mouse.

    When I clicked off the check, the option became greyed out, not letting me add back the check.

    In my case, it seems that removing the check in the Bluetooth Low Energy GATT compliant HID device layer did not remove the checks in all the sub-layers.

    I hope this helps.

    U Go: I do think so. Drivers and BIOS are all latest and this is my settings in the Device Manager. Anything else I should have looked at?
