W10 1607 USB crash

Hello Jamille,

Yes i have tried inserting/ejecting in another computer PackardBellnotebook 512HDD W10 1607 Home, working OK.

In my HP i can insert and read/write on the USB stick, then the crash/freeze occurs when i ejecting the USB stick.

The HP 512 SSD have W10 1607 Pro installed, and i have read some where that there was problem with this combination when the Anniversary arrived.

I am not found of to perform the formatting suggestion you purposed, i have over 50 USB sticks in various sizes with CAD files related to customer projects.

Since everything has working fine before the W10 1607 Pro i believe that Microsoft have a system bug that needs to be sorted out very fast.

Best regards
