| 1472128 | 2020-10-06 23:48:00 | This problem has only just begun in the last two weeks for me. Has anyone been able to find a simple solution to the above problem? I find that the really only way I know is to close the PC down and restart it. Any idea what causes this problem? Windows 10 Professional. |

| 1472131 | 2020-10-16 01:08:00 | Is this after writing to it , or sending/coping files to it ? Buy a new , FASTER usb stick disable power save on USB ports Use a USB3 port if you have one , or at least USB2 make sure its set for 'quick removal' see if anything else such as AV is accessing it |

| 1472132 | 2020-10-16 05:19:00 | Thanks 1101. USB2s' were already disabled but USB3s' were not. I'll now see if that makes a difference. | Bryan (147) | ||
| 1472133 | 2020-10-16 19:16:00 | Disabled the power save and now I have no problems, thank you. | Bryan (147) | ||
