Hey guys been running win 7 virtually flawlessly since the beta phases. I got a cooling pad for my laptop yesterday and I noticed when the computer is in standby the cooling pad will stay on, but the USB mouse receiver will turn off. I have already tried to find a solution through the device manager but this was already checked
Its really annoying to have to unplug it whenever I put my lappy into standby.
Hello, Welcome to the Forums!
Try going into advanced power options and setting the USB settings. You probably already know how, but I have included a screenshot.
Make sure the USB suspend setting is set to Enabled.
Thanks for the suggestion man, but I toggled between the two and neither of them had a different effect (mouse receiver still powered off, chill matt remained on). Could be a driver microsoft needs to look into...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but power should be supplied to the USB ports even when the computer is in sleep. For example, imagine a USB keyboard and mouse. What would happen if they had no power when the computer was sleeping? How would you wake it up?
Here is where I'm going: I doubt there is a way to turn off the USB ports, that would not cause undesirable effects.
Well, it would be nice if you were able to do that through the device manager but I guess thats what i'll do? It really doesnt make sense to have the cooling pad running for 6 hrs straight lol...
Yes, every port would have to be mapped and the (USB) inference in the device manager more clearly written. Hell maybe in Win 7.1!

I think they should continue with "seven" because this is M$'s best OS
