USB Port Remains Active After Using Safely Remove Hardware
By Timothy Tibbetts |
If you properly remove a USB device but find that the port is still active, even receiving USB packets and consuming power, then we can fix this from happening with a registry edit.
Open the Registry Editor and copy and paste:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\usbhub in the search bar.
Right-click over usbhub and click New > Key and name it hubg.
Click on hubg and in the right window right-click and choose New > DWORD (32-bit) Value and name that DisableOnSoftRemove.
Double-click on DisableOnSoftRemove and verify the Base is hexadecimal and then change the Value date to 1.
Restart your computer.
