Windows 10: disable "allow the computer to turn off this device" script

I have a bunch of USB storage devices connected to my computer and they always go to sleep until I try to access something on them and then they start up but there is always a pause. I know how to disable this by going into the device manager and manually unchecking "allow the computer to turn off this device".

Is there any type of script that I can run to do this automatically? I have many USB devices I have to do this for and whenever I restore my computer I need to go back and uncheck all my devices.

Hi,

I realize that you are trying to modify registry settings, let me assist you.

Since modifying or deleting registry entries incorrectly may result in serious problems, it is not recommended to change the registry entries. I suggest you to follow the below steps to change the
Power Management settings from the Device Manager
and check if it helps.

• 
  Press Windows key + X key and select Device Manager.
  
• 
  Find and double-click Network adapters.
  
• 
  Right-click the device listed and click on
  Properties.
  
• Navigate to Power Management tab and uncheck the option
  Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.

Hope this helps. Kindly write back to us with the updated status of the issue for further assistance on Windows, we'll be glad to assist you.

 

I don't have any bluetooth devices but windows turned it on!!


Then if they are still on, try some of these steps listed below, Not all of these steps may not apply, but, step #2 and #4 should help. I have all 4 steps on myself.

1 Go to Device manager and DISABLE Bluetooth, Do Not remove!
2 Turn USB suspend off
3 Set Hard Drive or SSD to Never
4 Turn Link State Power Management off
Settings 2 thur 4 can be found in your Power Management Settings.
Then click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable"
Then Reboot your Computer. This does work, may come back if you shut OFF your computer,then turn it back on, if it does, just a reboot will turn it off again.
