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.

 

Why does Power Options -> Sleep -> Allow wake Timers -> Disabled not work?
