    Windows 10 keeps powercycling my USB ports even after being told not to!


    I use a HP Notebook - 15-da0307tx, and I have a Seagate Expansion 1TB SSD Drive plugged into the side, where I run all my Steam applications from, including Blender. I also have a wired mouse plugged in as well.

    I've had a number of times where the USB ports on my PC suddenly powercycle without warning, which kills any programs running off the SSD, meaning when I have Blender open, I lose any unsaved work. This also temporarily disconnects my mouse.

    I've looked online and found that a way to disable "USB selective suspend setting", which is the advanced power settings:
    Control Panel > Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings > USB settings > USB selective suspend setting

    I disabled this setting weeks ago so my USB ports won't be switched off.

    Unfortunately, today my USB ports powercycled multiple times in the past hour. I checked, and "USB selective suspend setting" remains disabled. I don't know what's screwed up here.

    Click next/OK as required to complete installation. Repeat the steps for all Intel USB devices. Finally click on each USB root device and press DEL to delete it, reply YES when asked. After deleting all USB root devices restart the computer.

    I hope this is detailed enough...

    Hi,

    To fully isolate where this problem is coming from, please answer the following:

    • Have you tried connecting the peripheral devices to another computer to check if they will function?
    • How old is the laptop?

    • Press the Windows key on your keyboard.
    • Type Troubleshooting then press Enter.
    • On the left side, click View all.
