Solved Windows 7 and USB hub

[justmey2k]

I believe Windows 7 is turning off power to my USB hub when it goes to sleep. I have both my keyboard and mouse in this hub, for wiring convenience. I will move one or both to direct connect, and see if that's it.

Anyone heard of this? Is there a setting I need to check?

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Go into Device Manager and check the Power Management settings for your USB hubs.

Thanks for the fast reply. I will check that ASAP. Gotta say looks like a winner. I think I did good finding this place. More to come.

OK, keep us posted. Make sure you check all the USB hubs, not just the one I pointed to.

So far So good, problem was intermittent so will keep an eye on it.
Thanks again.
