How can I view USB device bandwidth allocation in Windows 10

Question

In windows 7 it was possible to view the bandwidth allocation (and power allocation) of every USB device. It was done by going to the Device Manager, selecting the USB controller(s), right clicking on the Root Hub or other controller, and selecting the Advanced tab. That tab has disappeared in Windows 10. This information surely exists somewhere in Windows 10. How does one access it?

Answer 1

Thanks, Smittychat. I'm going to look into these. I've also downloaded Virtual Studio 2017 and I'm going to see if I can learn enough C++ to run the routine (which I found in the first article link you sent):

       Couldn't copy it, but this is the link:

Answer 3

Smittychat,

    You are fantastic, and I'm grateful for your help and persistence. i can only dabble in the coded innards of the beast, though, so even if I find routines that get the info I want, I need to start on 'Hello world!" so I can embed them in something that runs.

   #1 seems to me to be about network bandwidth, not usb device bandwidth.

   #2 is either a broken link (note the '...') or leads to a list of tech questions and answers, within which I don't see anything that appears to refer to what I'm looking for.

   #3 seems to be only for Debian systems and Linux.
