Hi Folks,
I have upgraded (not fresh installs) all my workstations to Windows 10 1803 last week and now, my IODD 2541 with a Sandisk SSD inside does not mount or even show up in the device manager (no sound when plugged or unplugged too). The IODD screens shows that it goes to sleep as soon as it starts. This has been tested on 3 different computers with the same OS and another one running Windows 7. The IODD runs like a champ on the Win7 laptop.

Do you have any idea on how i could get around that Windows 10 glitch (except rolling back to 1709 please ;) ) ?
 
maybe try usboblivion..had good succes with it
This utility designed to erase all traces of connected USB devices - flash-drives, disks and CD-ROMs from computer registry of Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 (32/64-bit versions). The utility has a test mode of operation, i.e. without actually removing data from the registry, and, just in case, creates a .reg-file to undo any changes. There is also a fully automatic mode

Thanks for the suggestion but no joy with it. The IODD still goes to sleep and does not show up at all.
 
The obvious thing that comes to my mind is have you got the correct USB 3 drivers installed?
...and,
Can you see it in Disk Management?
is the disk initialised?
Can you see the disk if you boot with a Win 10 PE on that computer?

The IODD worked fine on the 3 systems when they were still running Windows 10 1709. Now that they are upgraded to 1803, no joy.
My USB3 drivers are OK on the machine I am right now. I have just rebooted the PC with the IODD plugged in and now, it is there. If I unplug and replug it, it does not show up anymore. Like @nlinecomputers says, this must be an USB issue with 1803.
 
I had a laptop a few days ago that the USB ports would not initialise on. The only way I could get them working was to roll back to 1709...
 
Unfortunately these types of issues are all too common with new versions of Windows.
Now with their 6 monthly update?/new build? cycle we can expect this type of problem to occur after every new release.

it seems that MS put more effort into stupid things like Cortana rather than making sure simple things like USB ports work correctly. :mad:

Not so there are many reports of saying "Hey Cortana" that lock up the unit. Google Chrome is also causing hell. I know several techs that rolled out 1803 immediately to clients. I always wait a month and let the bugs work out. These forced updates are foolish on Microsoft's part, especially as it seems to have gone hand in hand with a reduction in QA testing. "Hey, we are behind the deadline. You grab the newest build and mark it General Availability"

I update my images immediately and I never have any problems with imaged machines. The only time I ever have problems is if I install fresh from USB or if I upgrade a current installation. I have the feeling Microsoft tests their builds in a similar manner. The problem is, there is more than 10,000+ PC hardware configurations out there (and even more software configurations) and it's impossible to test for them all. So Microsoft uses us all as guinea pigs. This is why I always recommend Windows 10 Professional and defer feature updates for a year.
 
I take a similar but faster approach to what Sapphirescales does. Use Win10 Pro, set it to the Semi-Annual track, allow deferrals for 90 days. I won't even test an upgrade until the first quality update roll up is released, that's 1 month later. That's when I start updating systems at random in test cases, because I have six months before the massive roll out happens just in time for the next release to land. I haven't had many issues doing this.

As for the USB problems it sounds like 1803 brought back the March 1709 problems.

And, please don't use 3rd party tools to fix USB problems...

Open the System applet in the control panel, click advanced system settings to get the system properties window, go to the Advanced Tab, click the Environment Variables button at the bottom. Create a new system environment variable named DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES and set it to a value of 1.

Then launch Device Manager, go to the view menu, and enable show hidden devices. Windows will now list each and ever stupid driver installed but not actually being used at the time. You can go through all those hives and cleanly uninstall every ghosted icon. This includes busted shadow copies by the way, which can pile up if you're using any sort of real backup.

By the way, that process has been available since Windows 2000, it's never changed.
 
Phewww!... You had me worried for a second. I updated my laptop to 1803 yesterday and had not checked my iODD... I'm happy to report that it seems to work just fine. *grin (It has a standard 500GB sata installed.... no SSD)​
