What is the USB Selective Suspend feature? How can I enable or disable it?
Windows 10 has several built-in features that reduce power consumption. There’s a system-wide battery saver, a power troubleshooter, USB selective suspend, and more. These features help extend the battery life of your Windows PC.
In this guide, we’ll explain the ins and outs of USB selective suspend, what it does on your Windows computer, and how to disable the feature if it ever becomes a problem.
Many external devices, accessories, and peripherals draw power from your PC when you plug them into a USB port. When your computer is running on battery power, these external devices will drain your battery faster than normal. Therefore, Windows temporarily disables inactive USB devices to conserve battery power.
