Hi. Keep changing my Power Management settings for USB to off with my Fresco Logic card's Root Hub drivers. But the seem to reactivate automatically. The others, General, Asmedia etc stay off OK. Windows 10 1803, 64bit. Any (registry) tips?
Yep, it's already set like that .... I read on those never solving any problems Micros*ck forums that it might be a windows issue, at least it was with windows 7 i understood.
ok...was battling similar situation. there are two more items you can check. 1)In Bios, check to see if item with words faststep or quickstep is turned on and possibly something else that could control power saving features. 2)check Windows start up items, to make sure there is no MFG supplied power manager is present.
If you get it resolved one way or another, please post back here. Interested what will work in your case.
I think RustySpoon may be referring to Fast Boot in the BIOS. Yes, on any audio PC that should be OFF. The loss of time booting is minimal but when you reboot, Windows takes the time to reconnect audio devices.

Matt, It it is a Lenovo Thinkpad bios.., These bios options relate to Intel chipset, not specific to Lenovo brand. -- I do not want to sound like I am advertising something, but I use program called Ccleaner It is great for viewing startup processes, cleaning registry from traces of old installations, and disabling items in startup. It could be that a Power Manager software (Dell, Lenovo, Acer etc.) is trying to kick in at some point and control power settings.
Thanks. What I meant was the manufacturer of the BIOS, like Phoenix or American Megatrends.
I have tried CCleaner in the past. I found it too aggressive to try on my production machine. I’m glad it’s been successful for you. I just remove unwanted software manually.

to Matt and fiddler2007 ccleaner allows for full registry backup to file, before you scrub it. So, in case something goes bananas, you can always go back to previous reg settings.
P.S. I never had a problem with aggressive part of it before. I used it for about 8 years now. The interesting thing about it, it allows to block / uninstall certain Microsoft and other wonderful adware processes that are not removable by standard programs->uninstall.
Fast Boot was active in my ASUS BIOS, and switching it off did not help.
Fast Startup was already off in Power management (Windows 10 x64 1803).
What i think i need is some registry tweak for this Fresco Logic (SONNET) card. I start to think it has to do with my Graphics card, AMD Radeon R7 360. I'll revert to older drivers and see what happens. These AMD freaks seem to think they must do everything to please gamers.
PS I've been using Ccleaner for years, the only reg cleaner that never destroyed my Windows installation like so may others i tried in the past.
ADDED INFO: SOLVED. Deinstalled the Fresco Logic drivers and software. Now it runs on Microsoft's own Windows USB 3.0 drivers. BINGO, it remembers the power management settings LoL.
I had MAJOR crashes of Halion last week. I was ready to chew door knobs. It turned out to be video (NVIDIA) drivers. Full reinstall worked.
The way I did it. Uninstalled driver (AND deleted inf files). Rebooted, letting windows slap generic driver. Run ccleaner to get rid of residue. Reboot. Then downloaded latest video drivers and done clean install. No more Halion crashes for me.
P.S. One more thing. You probably know this, but will mention. There are couple of scenarios for admin privileges. If you are the pharaoh of your machine, make sure you have full privileges when you cast spells.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
