Windows 10: Disconnect all drives but C for 10 update?

With some update troubles that erased user data, is there any point in disconnecting all my internal drives but C when doing a version upgrade of 10 to 1909. (I'm still on 1511).

Win 10 won't boot, if I disconnect secondary drive(s)

1. Download: Macrium Rescue ISO 6.1.1000 and use: Rufus - Create bootable USB to create a USB Boot.
2. Disconnect Disk 1 from your PC
3. Boot up your PC using the USB in step 1
4. Follow the screen shot to fix Windows Boot

 

Win 10 disconnects external drives at random

After reading the article carefully, I started with the simple steps first.

1. Disabling MS One Drive was not necessary because I disable it right away when the machine was out of the box.

2. Turning off Fast Startup did not help. The drive was recognized upon Restart but then lost in about an hour.

Following other suggestions in the article was not successful.

For example, their step 3 reads: “Wait for the list of installed apps to appear. When the list appears, locate Seagate software and click the Uninstall button.”

However, there are no apps on my computer that are named Seagate whatever.

Likewise, I could not reinstall Paragon drivers because I could not find them on my computer in the first place.

I left a comment on the web page but have no idea if anybody will read it.

Studying Seagate website, found this page: Will my Seagate drive work with Windows 10? | Seagate Support US
according to which, my drive should work.

My N: drive is from the “Backup Plus Family”. It points to an “HFS driver 9.1 or higher”.
Dell’s Device manager lists MS Diver version 10.0.17763.1, dated 6/21/2006 as the most current driver for this drive.

Should I download the HFS driver, and then go to “Update Driver” > Locate and install driver s/w manually ?

If yes, where (which folder) should the HFS driver be placed properly for Windows to see it?

Thank you!

 

Disconnect and reconnect File History drive

Hi David,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



To stop file history using a drive, you can try the steps listed below.



Ideally, File History will save copies of your files every hour, so disconnecting and reconnecting the backup drive every hour would be a tedious task. However, if you still would like to go for it, you may try the steps listed
below.

• Open Settings and go to Update & Security > Backup using File History.
  
• Scroll down to Backup to a different drive
  and choose Stop using the drive to disconnect the drive.
  
• Later, when you would like to reconnect, go to
  Settings>
  Update & security>
  Backup>
  Add a drive to reconnect the drive.

in Windows 10



Let us know how it goes.
