Thank you John and Clark. Windows 10 being full of surprises, I just wanted to be sure.
Also related to Windows 10 USB devices random shuts off. hope the following could help:
I also heard that with windows 10, sometimes "the computer shuts off the keyboard in order to save power"...
The solution for that (for those who don't know) would be to:
"go to Device Manager -> Human Interface Devices and you can find your USB devices and the power management tab.
There you will find the box “allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"
For Other USB Devices that Disconnect (solution provided by BeerCanDave: see
If other USB devices seem to randomly disconnect in the manner that the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 200 does, you can follow the following procedure. It works for all versions of Windows.
1. Access Power Options (e.g., by typing ‘Power Options’ in the search bar in the start menu, or via Control Panel)
2. Click on ‘Change power plan settings’ on the power plan that is being used (has a bullet ticked)
3. Click change ‘Advanced power settings
4. In popup box, double click on USB settings and on USB selective suspend, then click on ‘Enabled’ and change to ‘Disabled.
