Solved Power Management Tab isn't showing up on network Adapter, Help Please!

For someone reason there isn't a power management tab on my network adapter

I have the same network adapter as you, and I have the power management tab.
I can't see what driver version you have there, but you probably just need a driver update.



I'm a big fan of Intel Driver & Support Assistant for newish computers. It does a great job.


Here is a direct link to Intel Driver & Support Assistant.
I'm not sure if we're allowed to use direct live links, so I've wrapped the link in code. Just copy and paste it into your browser.

Other than that, search manually for the driver or use something like Snappy Driver Installer Origin.

Here is a direct link to the latest driver.
I've just tested this myself and have updated my own network adapter.
Notice that I have a slightly newer version now. Working good.
DriverPack is a great driver site. It's where the Snappy Driver Installer drivers come from.

I've got the latest driver still doesn't show the power management tab?

From what I can see, some systems hide the Power Management tab.
It appears that it is particularly affecting portable devices in Windows 10/11.

A fix has been posted in the Microsoft Community. Judging by the replies, it is working.

You just need to open the Registry and create a new DWORD value CsEnabled at the following location and leave it set to 0, then reboot.

The Windows Club has described how to do it in detail.

I created the D-word value a made a CsEnabled with it set it to 0 and rebooted my computer, still isn't showing up?

Have you checked to see if you have a Power Management tab on any other device just to see if it is operating system related or just that device? Maybe check a mouse or keyboard.

If it is confirmed that the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 160MHz is the only problem, I would uninstall it from Device Manager and also tick "Attempt to remove the driver for this device", then reboot. Then install the latest driver v22.90.0.5 27/09/2021.

If you are still stuck, it may be worth following this.

As I mentioned earlier, it appears it is only affecting some portable devices. In particular the ones that are forced into Modern Standby.


Scroll down to the post by RBotero. He has confirmed that it works for your card. He has also posted the Reddit link to where he got the information from.

IT WORKED!!! the post by RBotero fixed it thank you guys so much for helping me!

And your computer now has [S3] Sleep instead of S0 Modern standby? PowerCfg -a will tell you.

yeah I no longer have a sleep power button

I know this thread is a little old but I got stuck with this too, so in case anyone else lands here nd wants to avoid the whole reg edit... . In order to access the fix (which I found on my phone, while my laptop was offline), I had to reset my network adaptor and restart. Just in case, I checked device manager before setting about the reg edit. Amazingly, the power management tab had reappeared (so of course, I unchecked the box to allow the network adaptor to be switched off, to save power). I think this is one of those Microsoft loops of doom that exist EVERYWHERE! The system shuts off the network adaptor to save power, so you have to reset the network adaptor every time it does that and it takes away your ability to stop it happening in future. Typical Microsoft. Hopefully, it won't happen anymore now
