Hello,
I have LEDs connected to a USB port,
I would like to be able to disable and enable my USB port whenever I want so I don't have to unplug and replug my LEDs endlessly..

If you have an idea, or something that could help me, that would be great!

Thank you very much!

Configuration: Windows / Chrome 50.0.2661.102

On the software or registry hack side, it's impossible to cut the power to the USB ports.

The USB ports are always powered. The only solution is to add a switch on the cable that powers your LED strip.

It seems that each USB socket has a switch. http://www.amazon.fr/...

Otherwise, you have to fiddle with the cable that powers the LEDs, cut it and install a switch. There are only two wires, so you just need to cut one wire and install the switch.
