Windows 10: How to disable specific USB ports on the motherboard

Hi again guys,

so I have a controller dock for my Valve Index and i have bought those magnetic usb charging wires so that the controllers charge when they are in the controller dock. The thing is, after they are charged I don't want them to keep drawing power because that might shorten the life span of the batteries in the controller. So I'm trying to cut the power off to those 2 usb ports on my motherboard, in my google search I've come across a software called USBDeview which it gives you the option to turn off specific usb ports, and it works when i disable the mouse (the red light goes off on the bottom of the mouse) but the index keeps charging even after i disabled them. So in the picture bellow i have added blue bars to the ports that disconnect when i pull the usb cables out of the computer and the same happens if i just disable the 2 bottom ones (index controller). But the problem is the current still goes to the controllers. weird... Please Help in general not specifically with USBDeview.

Assigning a usb port to a specific Com port

Hi guys,

My modem have 2 usb port, and i only need to use 1 of it.

My problem now is my modem is using a cfast card, whenever i change a cfast card and i plug into the usb port, the com port will keep jumping numbers and i do not want that.

Am i able to set the specific usb port to a specific com port number for example like COM port 3 whenever a usb is plug into the usb port?

Or is there any other way i can do it?
