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

    hmm. This is very fascinating! I never knew about it. I had this issue with my Microsoft Bluetooth Arc Touch mouse. After I changed to another Bluetooth mouse, mi smart dual mode silent edition, It did not happen again. The mouse was not working on another laptop too.

    YES! Holy krappity kretin krap!

    That's it!

    That damn fingerprint biometric reader!

    I have never used it. Never even set it up! This PC is 1.5yr old.

    This just happened now this week.

    Why is this happening?

    Those damn updates!

    I have wasted 1/2 day searching for a solution. And I was going mad with my mouse always freezing/sleeping after 5seconds. Same like the guy in the video.

    This video was it!

    Thanks!

    Unchecking the Power Management under the Biometric and fingerprint setting.
