I was running into an issue where my laptops wireless adapter would not reconnect after returning from sleep. I would troubleshoot the problem and the repair would read “The default gateway is not available“. I was able to track this issue down to the power management settings shutting off my network device and not properly turning it back on. Easy enough, I can just disable the power management settings for my wireless network adapter…at least that’s what I thought I could do.
When I loaded the device properties (From Device Manager) the “Power Management” was nowhere to be found. On to of that the Network Adapter settings where also missing form the power management plan settings.
How to enable the power management settings:
- Launch your Registry Editor (Windows button and type “Regedit“)
- Navigate to: “Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power“
- Select the entry called ‘CsEnabled‘
- Change the “Value data” to “0” and select “OK“
- Reboot your machine
NOTE: If ‘CsEnabled’ is not there, create a new “DWORD (32-bit) Value“. Title is ‘CsEnabled‘, Value Data ‘0‘, Base ‘Hexadecimal‘, and ‘OK‘.

Worked here, Thanks!

You are a god amongst men! I had been debugging this issue for hours!
We just tried it and power management button magically appeared! thank you so much!
Thank you SO much…no more surprise “network adapter not found”…I think it was shutting down on low power and not restarting…but I couldn’t see the power manangment tab in the properties…Google search and your information was just what I needed.
This helped me also. Thanks a lot!
not working :(
Doesnt work for me. In ADvanced Settings, Power plan wil not change from Power Saver and stiill having problems with network adapter
I was working on this for hours to no avail. This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!
This is no longer working since W10 2004 update… too bad
Yes, It’s gone. 2004 killed it again. The CsEnabled fix does not work. Does anyone have any idea why? Is it so Microsoft can keep the adapter on in sleep to monitor apps background transferring lots of personal data they can sell? Couldn’t be that.
For anyone still struggling with this. My solution was to simply download the newest driver for my network controller..
Not working bro! power management tab is still missing in device manager network adapter properties after adding value in registry and restarting computer. I am using windows 10 Pro v2004

Not working on Windows 10 Home updated ver. 2004.
Please, please help. I truly think this is the exact solution I need to fix my problem but there is no CS… file and when I try to add the DWord through the Edit option I get an Error box that says, “Cannot create value: Error writing to the registry.” I don’t know what to do now. Can someone please help me?

This post might have some answers for v2004
I’m still running 1909, and this registry tweak didn’t restore my mouse and keyboard power management tabs, either. HOWEVER, it *did* prevent my trackpad and keyboard from waking up my computer when it’s asleep, which is exactly what I wanted in the first place. So, many thanks to the author regardless! (As for the next semi-annual upgrade I can’t manage to dodge, well … I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.)
Exactly what i am looking for…. Thnx
right on! thanks.
Thanks great help!
didnt help :/
This is exactly what i needed, thank you !!! :))
Nice post, Thanks!
Just tried this on 20H2 and absolutely does not work. No change at all in the power management state. The new Modern Standby cripples tablets and laptops and I can’t find any work around.
Yes, 21h1 made my WWAN (LTE) Module useless with continuously turning it off…
Win 20h2 and this fix doesn’t work.
What a fucking mess Windows is.. like… no one ever saw that bug happen before launch? absolutely no one closes their laptop lid at Microsoft?
