Is there an alternative way to disable power save on the Bluetooth radio? Or, is there any plan by Microsoft to reverse this Windows update change to power management? This is an urgent problem…īefore going further, I would appreciate your help in clarifying the following situations: While some have been able to mitigate the problem by controlling the Power Management on either the individual Bluetooth device or the USB root hub/controller it is connected to, as opposed to the Bluetooth radio itself, this is not an option for our clients since the Bluetooth connectivity is being performed without pairing using an integrated radio. I have seen numerous similar complaints on the web from end-users whose Bluetooth devices no longer function after applying the Windfeature update. Furthermore, there is no apparent way to configure this power management option on new installations. However, clients that have updated to Windare now experiencing severe Bluetooth connection failures because the power save mode for their Bluetooth radio has apparently been forced on while the radio's Power Management tab has been removed from Device Manager. It has been in production for over a year and maintains reliable Bluetooth connections provided the clients disable the power save option on the Power Management tab of their Bluetooth radio in Device Manager.
We’ve developed a WPF desktop application that utilizes Windows 10 API's to perform unpaired Bluetooth LE device communication (as described here: ) with custom engineered devices. I was referred to this forum by the Developer Center Support at the Microsoft Partner Center.
