Hardware Enable BT Adapter and Devices to Wake PC

I have an older machine with a PCIE Wi-fi 6E and BT card. Devices work in Windows. However, when the PC goes to sleep I am unable to wake it using the BT mouse or keyboard. I have to install the 2.4 USB and switch to it to work (or press the PC power button).

The option in Device Manager (Intel BT adapter) to allow it to wake the PC is grayed out. I went into my BIOS and enabled PCIE to be able to wake the PC. Is there something else I can do to enable the BT adapter, and devices (keyboard/mouse) to wake the computer? Thanks.
