How To Turn ON/OFF USB Power When Computer Is Off

Sometimes you might want to turn on USB power when your computer is off to charge your devices or run the RGB lights. You can easily enable/disable USB power after shutdown by going to BIOS settings.

You can easily change the USB power state on older versions of Windows 10. However, the new versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 do not support the feature.

You have to change the USB power state from the BIOS settings.

Open the BIOS and go to Advanced Mode.
Click on the Advanced option

1. MSI Motherboards -
Find the ERP-ready option and disable it.
Go to "Wakeup event setup" and Enable "Resume by USB device".
Save the changes and exit BIOS.

2. Gigabyte Motherboards
Find and disable "ERP Ready" settings.
Save changes and exit

3. Asus Motherboards
Go to the Advanced option
Open "APM Configuration"
DDisable ERP RReady option

Go back to the Advanced option
Enable " Asmedia USB 3.1 Battery Charging Support" OR USB Power delivery in soft state (s5)
Save and exit.

4. AsRock Motherboard
Go to Advanced Option
ACPI Configuration
Disable the "Deep Sleep" option to keep USB power ON after shutdown.

Anytime you want to turn off USB power after shutdown, revert the changes.

Wroks of me, but only with turn off fast startup.

1. Click on Start, search for Power Options.

2. On the left pane, select Choose what the power buttons do.

3. Under Shutdown settings, uncheck the box for Turn on fast startup.

4. Click on Save changes.
