How do I make a USB port in Windows 10 just provide power and not a data connection? For example my satnav has a low battery and I just want to use it indoors. But when it sees the PC, it just becomes a removable drive and I can't use it.


Get a cable designed as you want... or somehow disable pins 2 & 3 and
use only 1 & 4


I sorted it an easier way, disable the device in Windows device manager. From now on every time that particular device is plugged in, the port will only be a power port. And I don't need another cable.
