General Computer Support / USB devices do not turn off
« on: January 09, 2018, 02:27:04 pm »
I have two external hard drives (WD MyBook) connected to USB 3.0 ports on my desktop. Also a Media Reader device connected internally to a USB 2.0 port.
Prior to installing the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update these 3 devices would turn off when I shutdown the system. After the Fall Creators Update, these devices remain powered up after a system shutdown.
I have checked the Device Manager and four USB drivers were updated as part of the Windows Update as noted in the attached snapshot. I have searched the Internet for a possible solution and came up empty. There is no option to roll back those drivers to the previous version. I could uninstall them and restart but I suspect that the restart will find the same drivers and reinstall them. Aside from rolling back to Windows Creator Update 1703 do we have any suggestions? I am not keen having the two external drives powered on 24x7.
