How to disable the Bluetooth Power Saving feature in Windows 11

Stop Bluetooth Dropouts by Changing Power Settings

Windows 11 may automatically turn off your Bluetooth adapter to save power, which causes devices like mice and headphones to disconnect unexpectedly. You can stop these frequent dropouts by changing a power setting for your Bluetooth device. This guide shows you how to access that setting through Device Manager.

Step 1Open Device Manager

Let’s start by opening Device Manager to fix 🔷 Bluetooth connection problems in Windows 11. You can easily find it by using the Windows 🔍 search bar. Click the ⊞ Start button in the bottom-left corner, type ‘Device Manager’ into the search box, and then click on the result when it appears.

Click the ⊞ Start button. It’s usually in the bottom-left corner of your screen.

In 🔍 the search bar, type Device Manager. No need to press Enter yet.

As you type, Windows shows matching results in 🔍 the search bar. Click on Device Manager when it appears in the search list, allowing you to manage hardware settings.

Step 2Find Your 🔷 Bluetooth Device

Once Device Manager is open, you need to find your computer’s 🔷 Bluetooth adapter in the list of hardware. Look for a category labeled ‘Bluetooth’. Sometimes, it might be listed slightly differently, like ‘Bluetooth radios’, but clicking the small arrow next to it will show you the specific device.

Locate “🔷 Bluetooth” in the list of device settings. This setting might appear as “Bluetooth radios” or a similar name, and it lets you manage the wireless connection.

Clicking the small arrow next to “🔷 Bluetooth” displays Windows 11’s Bluetooth settings. Clicking this arrow reveals your computer’s Bluetooth adapter, a piece of hardware that lets your computer communicate wirelessly with other Bluetooth devices.

Step 3Access Power Management Settings

Now that you found your 🔷 Bluetooth adapter, 🖱️ right-click on its name. A menu will appear.

In the menu, select Properties. A new window with tabs will open.

Find and click the Power Management tab.

Step 4Turn Off Energy Saving

The main reason for 🔷 Bluetooth dropouts is Windows turning off the adapter to save energy, so you need to disable this setting. To stop Windows 11 from turning off your Bluetooth device, find the power management tab for your Bluetooth adapter in Device Manager. Uncheck the box that says ‘Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power’.

Unchecking the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” box in Device Manager disables the 🔷 Bluetooth power saving feature in Windows 11. This change prevents Windows 11 from automatically turning off the Bluetooth adapter. This action helps wireless devices, like headphones and mice, remain steadily connected to your computer.

Unchecking the “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” box for the 🔷 Bluetooth adapter tells Windows not to automatically switch off the Bluetooth hardware to conserve battery. This ensures your Bluetooth devices, like headphones or mice, remain connected without interruption.

Click the OK button at the bottom of the Properties window to save your changes.
