When some devices are restricted, the system will disable USB ports that do not meet the allowed

devices can be moved to different ports. The ports disabled by the BIOS will remain disabled until
the system is restarted.

Windows 7 and other non-Windows configurations. Default is ‘All UEFI’ for Windows 8.1 or later.
