Device Manager Settings: - Open Device Manager in Windows. - Locate the USB Root Hub(s), USB Host Controller, or USB Hub in the list. - Right-click on your USB hub and select "Properties." - Go to the "Power Management" tab and uncheck the option that allows the computer to turn off the device to save power. 2. Changing Group Policy: - Press Win + R, type "gpedit.msc," and hit Enter to open the Group Policy Editor. - Navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Power Management > Sleep Settings. - Check for any settings related to USB power management during sleep mode and configure them accordingly. 3.

Back up your registry settings or create a restore point before making any changes. 4. Third-Party Utilities: - Consider using third-party software or utilities that offer advanced power management features for USB ports. - Tools like USBDeview, NirSoft USBLogView, or USBlyzer may provide additional insights and control over USB power settings. 5.
