People who use Windows 10 often have problems with power spikes on USB ports. This problem can make USB devices stop working or even break the hardware on your computer. There are a number of things you can try to fix power spikes on Windows 10 USB ports. In this piece, we’ll show you some of the best ways to deal with this issue of Power Surge On The USB Port.<\/p>\n
Method 1: Unplug USB devices and plug them back in.<\/strong><\/p>\n In Windows 10, the easiest way to fix a power surge on a USB port is to unplug all USB devices attached to your computer, wait a few seconds, and then plug them back in. This method works because it resets the USB port, which may have gotten overloaded because of a quick power spike.<\/p>\n Method 2: Keep USB drivers up-to-date<\/strong><\/p>\n Try updating your USB drivers if the first way doesn’t work. USB ports can get power spikes from old or broken drivers. Follow these steps to get your USB drivers up to date:<\/p>\n Press the Windows key + X, and then choose Device Manager from the list.<\/p>\n Open up the Universal Serial Bus controllers group in Device Manager.<\/p>\n Select Update Driver when you right-click on each USB driver.<\/p>\n Follow the directions on the screen to finish the driver update.<\/p>\n Method 3: Turn off the USB selective suspend feature<\/strong><\/p>\n USB Selective Suspend is a function that lets your computer save power by putting USB devices into a low-power state when they are not in use. But this feature can also cause spikes of power on USB ports. Follow these steps to turn off USB Selective Suspend:<\/p>\n Press the Windows key + X, and then from the list, choose Power Options.<\/p>\n Click on Change plan settings next to the plan that is being used right now.<\/p>\n Click on Advanced power choices and make changes.<\/p>\n Expand the USB settings, then expand the USB selective stop setting.<\/p>\n Change the setting to “Disabled,” then click “Apply.”<\/p>\n \u00a0Method 4: Use a powered USB hub<\/strong><\/p>\n If none of these work, you might want to try a charged USB hub. A powered USB hub has its own power source, so it can give your USB devices a stable source of power. This can stop power spikes from happening in USB ports and make sure your devices work right.<\/p>\n Method 5. Change the BIOS<\/strong><\/p>\n BIOS that is out of date or broken can sometimes cause power spikes on USB ports. Visit the website of the company that made your computer and download the most recent BIOS update for your device. To run the BIOS update, follow the steps given by the manufacturer.<\/p>\nWhy is my computer saying power surge on the USB port?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
