Windows cuenta con una función de suspensión selectiva de USB. Mediante ella, todos los dispositivos conectados al sistema por USB pasan a ejecutarse en un modo de bajo consumo si el sistema no detecta actividad en ellos durante un tiempo determinado, para de esta forma ahorrar energía.

Para desactivar el modo horro de energía debemos de pulsar el atajo «Windows + X» y seleccionamos el Administrador de dispositivos en la lista. A continuación, desplegamos el apartado de «Dispositivos de interfaz humana (HID)». Aquí, en la lista de controladores buscamos nuestro teclado o ratón bluetooth, hacemos clic sobre él con el botón derecho y seleccionamos «Propiedades».

Download All Windows 64 This version contains the 64bit version of Link Shell Extension, but also contains a 32bit version, which is installed in parallel to the 64bit version, to satisfy third party filemanagers/explorers like total commander: Link Shell Extension (3.76Mb) All neccesary runtime dlls are already installed on your system, but if not grab it from here for 64bit and here for 32bit     All Windows 32 Simply download and install Link Shell Extension (3.56Mb) All neccesary runtime dlls are already installed on your system, but if not grab it from here.

Here's an after with the target as C:\Windows\Logs_, notice the extra _ at the end.

There is another solution tested by me and safe to use. just add to the real folder _ (example: foo become foo_) then simply delete your symbolik link, then remove _ from your true folder.

(At least classic Shortcuts) Not tested though. – Hexo Sep 29, 2017 at 13:26 I did this just in case. After I renamed the target folder, the symbolink link failed when I tried to access it, so I could delete it without worrying. – Andrew Apr 14, 2018 at 0:39

Be very careful. If you have a symbolic link that is a directory (made with mklink /d) then using del will delete all of the files in the target directory (the directory that the link points to), rather than just the link. SOLUTION: rmdir on the other hand will only delete the directory link, not what the link points to.
