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 do have a similar problem, and my USB adaptor doesn't work.

    Does anyone have a solution? It happens after I migrated to window 11 from 10

    Even after doing all this - the side port USB C on the brand new Win 11 system I am installing is failing - it worked for two minutes. The system passes ALL diagnostics.

    Previously this particular problem was addressed by disabling the item that was disabling the usb port(s) by powering them down.

    Hi Mosken,

    I am having similar troubles with my microsoft studio laptop - it does not have USB settings in power options and subsequently (im assuming) does not recognise the USB device when I plug in my USB C adaptor (connected to arduino board). I have tried every troubleshooting method from the following sites and have had no success: How to Fix The last USB device malfunctioned and Windows doesn't recognize it - Driver Easy as well as USB settings in Power Plan Options on Windows 10 is missing, how to - Microsoft Community and How to Install USB 3.0 Drivers on Windows 11 (lifewire.com) except I was unable to find and install the Intel driver (from this third site).

    I also tried your above steps and still no luck. Any thoughts on what else I could try?

    Thanks in advance and kind regards,

    Maddie

    I dont think it is the usb power settings. We had the same issues using extenders for Logitech cameras. it was fixed by installing the Logitech software that includes a driver for the camera.
