Question Unable to use new USB devices

[AholicKnighter]

Hello. Today I am having a weird problem where when I unplug a USB device, and plug it back in, the computer will no longer recognize it, forcing me to reboot to temporary fix this problem, until it happens again.

I just ran "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth" and the command completed, rebooted, and that did not fix the problem.

The OS I am using is: Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC (x64) Build 19044.5965 (21H2)

If there is anything else you need, I would be more than happy to provide it. Thank you.

Since you are using Enterprise version of Win10, contact system admin or IT department of the company about your issue. Or IoT device builder (whoever installed the Win, since they have to provide customer support).

Home users have no legal method of using Enterprise edition of Windows.

Thats sounds like a group policy to me. Most companies won't let you plug usb drives with that verison of windows. The iot versions by default, have missing many drivers (chipset is common missing one) and could cause those issues indirectly.

But here's the thing. If I put a new USB device in, it will identify it, and I can see the partitions just fine, but as soon as I take the USB out (even when ejecting), and put the USB back in, it will not be identified. No sound. Nothing. This problem goes away after I reboot the computer, and doing this everytime I want to plug a new device in, is getting a bit tiresome.

When you eject the device do you get a msg......safe to remove?

Yes I do. Then when I put the same usb in, it won't recognize it. It won't even recognize a complete new USB device, until I reboot.

Play with the device mgr policy settings see if it makes a diff.
