It not so much the USB A but clearly it has to be recognised as being not the deafult USB C so it will ‘cause’ if not ‘draw’ power.

However why that is over 1W rather than 0.001W is the issue as far as I can see.

But if nothing is plugged into the USB-A then does it really need to be recognised at all by the computer?
