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.

    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.

    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

    I have followed all the steps to get the usb power saving option back and nothing is working. My Seagate external hard drive keeps going to sleep and then turning back on.
