Add a mention about disabling Windows USB Power Saving feature to avoid T1/T2/TM disconnection issues.

It could even be worth creating a brand new page with a list of things to do in Windows to setup a proper working station, similar to what QLab is doing with the Mac: https://qlab.app/docs/v4/general/preparing-your-mac/

This seems like a really good idea. Just thinking of some other things that might be worth people doing:

Turning off screensaver / sleep / auto lock
Disable automatic windows updates
Disable disk indexing
Disabling windows firewall if you want to do networking things

How much detail should we go into? Do we need to show how to do this in Windows (various versions of...) or is it just a list of things to check.

I feel like if we include a screenshot of the switches in Windows 10 and a sentence on where to find it that would be enough

Just had an idea.... I don't really know as I'm more of a Mac person but maybe it's possible to change settings using the command line like on macOS? So the user can easily copy-paste commands to apply these changes. Or even better, a bash script which would apply all of these in a single command.
