I need to turn off USB Mass Storage. I want to disable Generic USB Hub and USB Root Hub (USB 3.0) in Device Manager but when I right-click on them, the option to Disable device does not show up. If I go to Properties -> Device for each device, the Disable Device option is grayed out. Could someone help me figure out how to disable USB Hubs from Device Manager?

It is possible to turn off the USB hub or controller within the computer's BIOS settings.

You can utilize the ports for the keyboard and mouse without turning them off completely.

Would you like to turn off the ports for safety, making them not accessible for read or write tasks?
