    Windows 10, " USB device might need more power." Power surge, or did it stop a surge?


    I received the message, " USB device might need more power," when I was plugging a wireless charger into a USB-c port. Did I experience a power surge, or did Windows 10 detect the wattage my wireless charger was requesting and stopped a potential surge?Would the wireless charger still work, but at a lower wattage?

    :)

    Disabling a USB port will never do that. You can disable a USB port anytime you want without harm. It is a normal thing to be able to do.

    A power surge warning is indicating that you have something plugged into USB that is requesting too much power and should be unplugged. It should be plugged in a way that provides more power than the port can give it.

    If you run the game from the device that's having a power surge like a portable hard drive then it would probably affect gaming performance.
