So I have this problem where ONLY when I'm not playing games on my PC, some of my USB plugged in devices just turn off and on again, it's especially annoying because one of them is my WiFi adapter and my mouse, and I don't have that many usb ports available on my PC... Could someone help me?
 
It should be something about energy saving options turning them off during presumed inactivity.

Go into Control Panel-> Power Options: on the power profile that is currently selected choose "change profile configuration"->change advance profile configuration-> USB config: disable it and see if that stops the issue, for your WiFi adapter you would have to look something similar on the same place.
 


Thank you for your answer!
I tried this, but it doesn't work unfortunately, I also checked at the Wireless adapter settings in the same place and read every description but nothing seems to be wrongfully configured...
