External Hard drive Help.

[Urusaisenpai]

Well. I have no idea what's going on.
Yesterday I did a Windows update & Now every time i turn on my PC
I get that "BING" Sound when you plug in a USB. Because of that i'm losing 50% of my Icons on my desktop.

My External Hard drive is plugged in at all times in that same USB Slot.
it never has done this before. It acts like on every startup it's a new Drive that has been plugged in.

it also opens the File explorer.exe to my Harddrive on startup.
Any ideas?

I know that the new Windows Update caused a lot of problems and Microsoft is advising not to install it.

I don't know if the problem that you are having is related to that because i haven't read the whole article yet, but the part that i read said that people are losing a lot of stuff.

I haven't lost anything for what i can see.
So annoying that my External hard drive acts like it's a new drive on every startup. FUCK....

Changed my USB port to 3.0 Instead of 3.1 Now i'm not getting that ERROR..
Somehing wrong with the port or drivers.

Sorry to inform you but the new update is deleting files ._.

If you're a victim of this data loss bug, Microsoft suggests

You must be registered to see the links

via a local customer service phone number. They also urge users not to install the 1809 update if they've downloaded it manually, and to wait until new media becomes available.

Any idea what kind of data? I haven't lost any games or work related?

BTW. i fixed it. I updated the USB Drivers and now it's fine.
Something was wrong with my 3.1 USB Drivers.
