USB ports on U2412m monitors not functioning, #2
Why is this necessary? I do not want to have to connect the monitor with usb to my pc. I just want to tap of power through usb, for any amount of specific reasons such as but not limited to charging my phone while at the computer, charging a power bank while at the computer, charging the storage box for my ear buds, using a led light for any kind of illumination. And why should this not be possible the monitor itself has a powerline connected to it, so it has power enough. I do not need drivers for that.

Started your own thread.
The previous poster from 11 years ago was using USB mouse and USB keyboard connected to the U2412M USB-A downstream ports. In that scenario, they have to connect the USB-B to USB-A cable AND install drivers for the operating system to "see" devices connected to the U2412M USB-A downstream ports.
This is shown in the online U2412M User's Guide.
