Re: USB connection

Hi,

Thanks for posting here.

I agree with R. McCarty, your issue may be related to power saving.

So, please open Device Manager from System Properties, expand Universal
Serial Bus controllers, and then double-click USB Root Hub, click Power
Management tab, uncheck the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to
save power" checkbox, and then test this issue.

In addition, you may also refer to the UPS manual to check whether there is
any similar "power saving" function on the UPS device.

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!

Sincerely,
Tom Che
