Widows updates screws this up every time: So again switch off Power Management here for all USB drivers called hub:


Thanks Fiddler2007. I installed USBDview and also turned off the power management checkbox. Great utility.

So am I correct in assuming you are saying?

Any USB port in the USBDview display list that says "No" under the connected column can be highlighted and I can click the "Uninstall Selected Devices" button.

The assumption being that when I plug the device in again it will reappear in the list as in use.


Yep, and you can delete the white ones, the green ones are in use ...
