I recently a 5Gbps capable (https://a.co/d/6WpEAPZ) cable to stream VR from my Laptop to my Quest 3. I am getting an issue where the link connection turn on the off then on then off. I looked it up and I need to turn off USB selective suspend in power controls - advanced - usb settings, but I can't find it. Also this is not a cable issue as the cable works for less powerful demands like charging my phone, and this is the second one I bought (same one, just returned and bought it again)

    Also hidden for me and "powercfg -attributes 2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3 48e6b7a6-50f5-4782-a5d4-53bb8f07e226 -ATTRIB_HIDE" won't help.

    Anyway, changing the DWORD-Value "Attributes" under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\2a737441-1930-4402-8d77-b2bebba308a3\48e6b7a6-50f5-4782-a5d4-53bb8f07e226" from 0 to 2 is going to make it available after a restart.

    Hi! Probably you are looking in setting, but this is the proper path to find it:

    1. Control Panel > Power Options > Change plan settings (for your active plan) > Change advanced power settings.
    2. Expand USB settings > USB selective suspend setting > set Disabled for On battery and Plugged in, click OK. If you don’t see “USB settings”.
