windows_usbkill

This script is my version of https://github.com/hephaest0s/usbkill for Windows 11 and 10 which runs in the system tray. The script will shutdown your Windows machine if it detects a device that gets plugged into your computer's USB ports, which will be logged to a .txt file. There is also a pause/unpause feature in the event you need to plug in a USB device.

This script has been tested on Windows 11 22H2.

Install (Python)

  1. Install Python 3 for Windows.
  2. git clone https://git.willys.zone/Willy/windows_usbkill.git
  3. cd .\windows_usbkill\
  4. pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. python3 windows_usbkill.py

I recommend using Non-sucking Service Manager to run the script as a Windows service.

Install (.exe)

Notice: Python executables made with pyinstaller are sometimes falsely flagged as viruses by anti-viruses; if the AV is causing issues, I recommend using the python method above. Keep in mind that since this executable is unsigned, you will get a one-time "unrecognized app" prompt. Press "More Info" and then "Run Anyway.".

  1. Download the latest version from the "Releases" page.
  2. Run executable.

Build

  1. Install Python 3 for Windows.
  2. git clone https://git.willys.zone/Willy/windows_usbkill.git
  3. cd .\windows_usbkill\
  4. pip install -r requirements.txt
  5. pip install pyinstaller
  6. pyinstaller.exe .\windows_usbkill.spec

Notice

This script will shutdown your system if a USB device is plugged in. You will loose ALL unsaved progress/data. Use this script at your own risk. The author is not liable for lost data.
