Hey all,

I currently have a wireless headset that is plugged into the computer's usb port for charging.

I would like for the computer to be able to charge the headset when turned off, ( for the usb slots to be able to power things when the computer is turned off).

I am currently running the most recent updates of Windows 10 Pro.

Hardware:
CPU
Intel Core i5 3570K @ 3.40GHz 36 °C
Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM
16.0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 (9-9-9-24)
Motherboard
MSI Z77A-G45 (MS-7752) (SOCKET 0) 28 °C
Graphics
ASUS VS247 (1920x1080@60Hz)
2425W (1920x1080@60Hz)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 (MSI) 59 °C
Storage
465GB Seagate ST500DM002-1BD142 (SATA) 28 °C
119GB SanDisk SDSSDHP128G (SSD) 21 °C
2794GB TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 (SATA) 30 °C
I have already set EUP to off in the bios.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

That would depend on MB and if it has possibility for that. In Gigabyte boards there are couple of USB ports that have "Always on" feature.
I can't see anything like that being listed as a feature on that MB.
A run around would be to get a powered USB hub which would provide power for charging while still working as ordinary USB.
