    Likewise, I remembered that video on youtube detailing how to increase the power to the apple keyboard. I found the video re-uploaded here: Apple Keyboard Hack - Fully-powered USB ports on a PC! - Video Dailymotion
    Outstanding find asdfjkljkl5!!!

    The Windows 10 registry is a little different when changing permissions but in the end it works perfectly as the video describes. Owner tab in WINDOWS 10 is NOT included as one of 4 tabs as in WINDOWS 7. It is located ABOVE the 3 tabs. Select Change to edit. I typed in Everyone in the search field & then was able to check Include inheritable permissions from this object's parent.

    I tried this & it WORKS!

    I tried to replace all Intel specific USB drivers with the generic Standard Universal PCI to USB Host controller (Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host controller for the USB 2.0) and it seemed to work. I hope it wasn't just a coincidence. I'll try to plug my hard disk several times to confirm it and post again. Probably the standard driver has better power management than the Intel driver. Who knows?
    Where can I download this driver? And how can I install it?

    First of all I confirm that in my case only the generic Standard USB drivers work. Intel drivers fail to properly detect any device plugged ("unknown USB device" error), except perhaps a USB mouse! To do that right-click on a USB device (not the USB Root Hub devices, the controller devices) and select "Properties". Then select "Update driver software". Select the last option, then again the last option. You should see a list of compatible devices. The last in the list should be the generic "Standard PCI to USB controller" (or Enhanced controller for the USB 2.0 device). Select that and proceed to install it. Windows might warn you they cannot verify compatibility etc. Ignore this warning and proceed. Replace all USB controller devices and then restart your system. USB ports now should work better. As said before, in my test server system this is the only way to make my USB ports work! I also have this issue in Linux and Mac OS X. The USB ports don't work properly for some reason. At least they do work in Windows 10 using the standard drivers. Thanks God!

    I don't recall changing the USB driver. Follow the video but keep in mind the video was for Windows 7 not Windows 10. I my post above I describe the differences between the two. Make sure you have the correct USB port address to change power on.

    In my case wasn't a power problem but a driver problem as it seems. None USB port worked no matter what device I tried. It only works properly by replacing the Intel specific USB controller drivers with the standard (universal) USB controller drivers.

    That's interesting. All I did was follow the Dailymotion video & changed the allotted power to the port. Changing driver would probably be best!

    Hey everyone,

    I understand this is a very old thread, and this is a bit of necro lol. I recently bought a Dell SK-8135 keyboard off of Ebay, opened it up, and soldered a 2.5A power supply to the VCC pin (after disconnecting the VCC from the USB wire, of course). However, even after this, Windows is only allowing 100mA on the ports. My Ubuntu laptop does the same thing. I've done an hour or two of research trying to find out how to change this to 500mA or (ideally) 1000mA.

    The reason I'm necro'ing this post is that the video links in it have both been broken somehow. I looked on Dailymotion and YouTube to try and find similar videos, but with no luck. If anyone here has a video, tutorial, or quick way to get to the registry and change these values, I would be very grateful. I found the device and hardware IDs, and located it in the registry, but did not know where to go from there.

    Thanks,
    b54

    here is the solution will you need to find the hardware id first then procede to the following direction in regedit this is an example it can have another id, got it from here Page not found - DIYProjects.Tech but it seems that in a forum update they decide to erase the guide, anyway just try to replicate the following screenshotHow to change registry keys to increase USB power to 500mA?-500ma-apple-keyboard.png
