bluelurker over 3 yearsCan it also disable the USB port for devices that draw power from the USB port? For e.g. USB lamps etc? -
mvp over 3 yearsThis really depends on how Windows does it, and on hub hardware, but I don't think it is very likely. You might want to look at my utility uhubctl, however it will not work on Windows due to Microsoft decision to restrict direct access to USB hub in winusb.sys kernel driver. uhubctl will work on any other OS (Linux, Mac, *BSD, etc) provided you have compliant USB hardware - check uhubctl page for supported devices. -
bluelurker over 3 yearsthank you.. I'll take a look at uhubctl
