    Disable USB device from suspending power Via the Registry


    I have a USB device in my device manger called "USB Station" -- this appears to be a device / driver for my docking station.


    There is no Power Management option for this device in the device manager. How can I change the registry so that 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power' is disabled from this device. Currently this device gets automatically disconnected in sleep mode and it disconnects all monitors from my laptop, collapsing everything to the laptop monitor each time I wake it from sleep mode.

    :)

    Disable USB Power

    When I turn off my Windows 10 machine, USB devices remain powered on. I would like them to power off.

    I have already:

    1. Disabled USB selective suspend
    2. Disabled Fast Start
    3. Disabled "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on the Power Management of the USB Root Hub Properties, as well as on the Generic USB Hub Properties and the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller.
    How is this resolved? Any help is appreciated.

    OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home

    Version: 10.0.19041 Build 19041

    Disable USB device from suspending power Via the Registry

    Windows 10, unable to disable USB selective suspend

    Upon upgrading to Windows 10, I have noticed that my external USB device powers off after a few minutes of inactivity.

    I have researched this, and already changed the following setting:

    For all 4 power plans listed on my computer, I have gone to "USB settings", and selected "disable" for "USB selective suspend setting" for both "on Battery" and "Plugged in" for all 4 power plans.

    Device manager: "USB Serial Bus Controllers", I have made sure all USB items that have a "Power Management" tab are unchecked for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power".

    The issue continues, the USB device still turns off after a few minutes of inactivity. This happens on 2 separate Windows 10 machines, and never happened on the same machine running Windows 7, before the upgrade to Windows 10.

    Are there any other settings that I need to change to disable the USB selective suspend in Windows 10?

    Is there a registry setting where I can simply change the timeout period to some other timeout value, i.e. 60 minutes?
