When it only happens if USB is idle and only on Windows then the chance is high that some device power-saving feature may be involved. You can try to disable energy saving for the keyboard/mouse/USB hub in device manager.– RobertCommented Jun 27, 2021 at 12:07

I should have added that I scoured all power settings for power-related options, but nothing was enabled that seemed related.– oarfishCommented Jun 27, 2021 at 15:03

1Sounds like a communication issue due to the length of the USB extension, else it's a bad extension - test with a known-good extension of the same length and if the issue still occurs, the length is likely an issue. (If either is the issue, it's likely Windows and Linux have different standards for the voltage/amperage loss that occurs).– JW0914Commented Jun 27, 2021 at 15:30

@oarfish All USB devices have the option to use energy saving features in Windows device manager (enabled by default).– RobertCommented Jun 27, 2021 at 18:10

Yes, those are disabled. @JW0914, I guess this hypothesis fits the data, but still strange that an active usb cable doesn't help here.– oarfishCommented Jun 28, 2021 at 9:56

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
