Windows 10: Can't change Power Management setting in Device Manager

So I was trying to use Wake-On-LAN and I didn't work so I checked Device Manager and Power Management and noticed I couldn't change this setting:https://gyazo.com/50d7b7a1e91a3e7771fda357999f859fNow if I could change this setting I think Wake-On-Lan will work and I hope someone knows the solution why I can't change this setting.

Fingerprint issue/Power Management

already tried the credentials service one, not of any help. I guess the only fix is from the power management tab

1. Press Windows Key + X and choose Device Manager from the list

2. When Device Manager opens, locate your fingerprint reader. It should be located in Biometric Devices section.

3.Right click your fingerprint reader and choose Properties

4. Navigate to Power Management tab and uncheck Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

5. Click OK to save changes.


I want to follow this step but I cannot find the power management tab.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern with the battery report. Active State Power Management or ASPM is a power management protocol used to manage PCI Express-based serial link devices as links become less active over time. It is normally used on laptops and
other mobile Internet devices to extend battery life.



In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below.

• What is the make and model of the PC?
  
• Are there any devices connected to the computer?

Please respond to the private message with the required information for further investigation. However, we would suggest you to perform these steps.



Change the advanced power plan settings.

1. Right click at Windows Start menu icon and select Control Panel.
   
2. Set the View by to: Small icons.
   
3. Click on Power Option, then click on Change plan setting.
   
4. Select Changeadvanced power settings.
   
5. Scroll down and expand PCI Express and
   Link State Power Management
   
6. Change the option for both On battery
   and Plugged in to Maximum power savings.
   
7. Then click Ok.

We await your response.

power management tab is gone from device manager

my clean install messed up my computer.
The power manager tab is missing in device manager, I did a google and found a fix for it that suggested a key for it. But the key was already there, in Regedit.
what can I do? I have my computer on the floor and can´t reach down every to wake it up from sleep mode. Yes, the power button still works.
