I am trying to manage my USB power plan settings but the USB option is missing from the Advanced Power Settings option.

Control Panel/System and Security/Power Options/Edit Plan Settings/Change Advanced Power Settings

FYI:

I am running Windows 11 Home Version 21H2 on an HP Spectre laptop.

I tried some fixes posted for Windows 10, but they did not work.

NOTE: I am trying to change the USB power options to see if this will stop the flickering in my Logi HD 1080p Webcam.

    I found the same settings. I disabled the option "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on ALL USB devices listed. My specific device I'm trying to resolve is a HyperX Quadcast S mic. I had recently purchased and was working fine for a couple days, then just stopped working. I figured a defective product so I returned for a new one and still have same issues...it's simply not working.

    Weirdly though when I restart my computer, it works but ONLY during restart. Once the computer is running, it's not working. I swapped to different USB slots with no success. I am in fact typing this message on my Redragon RGB keyboard that is working.

    I have the same problem and started just opening management windows.

    I found in device manager that you have to select properties and seen a tab that says power management.

    by default it is selected to turn off when windows chooses.

    hope this helps.
