@PhenixRising:
Please don't forget to put a diode in front of the capacitor from Volhout's idea. Then the capacitor cannot be discharged externally.
This is how I have implemented it in the past and it has always worked well...
Frank
There is a diode between Vbus and Vsys on the genuine pico board.
Volhout
Yes, but if there are other loads BEFORE the capacitor, they can drain the capacitor without an additional diode.
