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.

    Hey All,

    I was having this same issue and I found this:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/100643-remove-usb-selective-suspend-setting-power-options-windows.html

    It worked for me... Hope you all have the same luck as well! :)

    Add or Remove "USB selective suspend setting" in Power Options using Command Prompt

    1. Open an elevated command prompt.

    2. Type the command below you want to use into the elevated command prompt, and press Enter. (Add - default)
    REG ADD HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3\48e6b7a6-50f5-4782-a5d4-53bb8f07e226 /v Attributes /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f

    OR

    (Remove)
    powercfg -attributes 2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3 48e6b7a6-50f5-4782-a5d4-53bb8f07e226 +ATTRIB_HIDE

    3. You can now close the elevated command prompt if you like.
