How to disable the Bluetooth Power Saving feature in Windows 11

Stop Bluetooth Dropouts by Changing Power Settings

Windows 11 turns off your Bluetooth 🔷 adapter to save power, which causes connected devices to disconnect unexpectedly. You can stop these frequent dropouts and disable bluetooth power saving by changing a single power setting in Device Manager, keeping your wireless mice and headphones connected reliably.

This tool lets you check device status and update or disable drivers. To adjust Bluetooth 🔷 power settings, use Device Manager to find your Bluetooth 🔷 adapter. Open Device Manager to begin this process.

Step 1Open Device Manager

Device Manager lets you control your computer hardware and adjust power settings for connected devices. You can open Device Manager in Windows 11 by clicking the Start button ⊞, typing Device Manager into the search 🔍 bar, and clicking the matching result to view your system hardware.

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

Your computer's Bluetooth adapter is listed inside Device Manager so you can manage its hardware settings. Look for the Bluetooth category or Bluetooth radios in the main list, then click the small arrow next to it to see your specific wireless adapter.

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.

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

Windows 11 stops Bluetooth dropouts when you turn off energy-saving features on your adapter. Open the properties for your Bluetooth device, click the Power Management tab, and uncheck the box that says allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Unchecking this box disables the power-saving feature entirely. 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.
