How to use Registry Editor to disable network adapter power management on a single computer

 

1.) Start Powershell -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.

Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name "Ethernet" -IncludeHidden -AllProperties -RegistryKeyword "PnPCapabilities" -RegistryValue "24";
Set-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -Name "Wi-Fi" -IncludeHidden -AllProperties -RegistryKeyword "PnPCapabilities" -RegistryValue "24";

2B.) Hard disk -> Turn off hard disk after -> Never

2C.) USB selective suspend setting -> Disabled
