Camera Issues and USB Power Management

For USB devices, Windows enables a power-saving feature known as USB Selective Suspend.
​
Its goal is to save power by shutting down USB ports that are only used intermittently.
​
This feature causes problems when using DSLR cameras, and we recommend that you turn it off.
