Enabling Power management tab in AOAC machine

Question

Hi,

I am using a miniport NDIS driver in AOAC machine and observe Power Management tab is missing. I understand that by the design of an AOAC machine, the Power management tab is not provided to user as explained in [https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/power-management-not-visible-in-aoac-platform.

But is there a way to enable it for a particular net adapter through its driver configurations?

Hello VijayaGopika E

Unfortunately, the behaviour and options available for a device are determined by its controlled driver. Otherwise Windows doesn't "know" how to interact or to control functionalities of that device. In case PowerManagement or other property of the device is missing, it needs to be implemented by a driver updated by the manufacturer of said device.
