On the PC desktop here (Gigabyte MB) the USB power is on at all

couple of LED indicators. I assume this is under BIOS control, but
can't find a setting. But then the BIOS uses all sort of acronyms I
don't understand.

Any easy way of disabling this? So USB power only comes on when I
boot the PC?

YouTube came up with a gigabyte specific video straight away when I
entered "turn off powered USB"

Have you also banned yourself from dealing with Google?

:-p

I generally can't be bothered with videos. Prefer text.

But thanks for the heads up. Turns out you have to enable ERP. Whatever
that is. Obviously just me, but I'd expect any such settings to be in the
USB section of the BIOS.
