NUC8 USB Port Operation Differs From NUC7

[c75]

Anyone notice the USB ports for NUC8 work differently than NUC7?

On NUC7, when power is first applied, the USB ports  (USB-A/C) are allowed to remain off until the power button is pressed. 

On NUC8, when power is first applied, the USB ports (USB-A/C) are powered on and active. BIOS settings cannot change that.  Intel stated they changed this for NUC8.

Hi Josue,

Thank you for your comment. Did Intel publish this change anywhere?  I was not aware of the change until the board was received.
