Question Windows stuck at Restarting until I remove all USB devices from the front USB ports of the Dark Base Pro 900 Rev.2 case

[modeonoff]

Hello, I have a Dark Base Pro 900 Rev. 2 case and a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme (rev. 1.0) motherboard. Under both Windows 10 and 11, whenever I issue a Restart while having USB device(s) plugged into the USB 3.0 ports at the front of the case, the system remains at Restarting and a spinning circle showing on the screen. It never restarts unless I remove all the USB devices from the two front USB 3.0 ports. Know how to fix this?

sounds like its either the pc case front usb cable to motherboard is damaged or isnt installed correctly. or the circuit board in the case where the usbs are housed is shorted.

had a similar instance years ago.

Did you try enabling Fast Boot in your bios? This generally ignores the usb ports.
