Windows 10: Dont run thumbdrive on boot up or sleep?

Hi,

Currently, I am manually ejecting the usb each time I start the pc or wake from sleep to save battery. I felt its also hurtful to auto run the usb after each wake from sleep.

I am intending to leave my usb plug in my pc, however I do not wish my pc to run/read it upon first boot or wake from sleep/hibernate. When I wish the use the usb, then I would manually run/read the usb.

How is the best solution for this?

:)

 

Windows 10 got long stuck on terminal screen boot before logo

My PC got strange long boot on internal windows 10 pro 64 bit

when I try to boot on thumbdrive (windows 10 installer) using UEFI Boot it has no problem

but when I try to boot my thumbdrive on Legacy boot it shows the same symptom like my windows 10 long terminal blank screen boot

 

Bootloader for Thumbdrive ?

Hi, I want to put multiple boot discs for multiple computers on one thumb drive. I assume I need to create a multiple bootloader on the thumbdrive so I can select which boot loader I want for each computer when the computer boots into the thumbdrive, correct
?

 

Assuming the USB drive doesn't interfere with the boot process, there isn't any harm in just leaving it plugged in.

 

Hi, how to make sure the usb drive doesn't interfere with the boot process?
Leaving it plugged in, when I on the pc or wake from sleep each time, the thumbdrive is run/read where I can access it. I feel battery would also drain.

 

I'm not sure what you mean by drain the battery. It shouldn't have any effect.

The easiest way to see if it interferes with the boot is to try and boot up with the USB drive connected. If it boots, you are fine. If not, you need to change the BIOS boot settings to boot from the hard drive first.

 

when the PC is awake - the USB is readable, yes that is normal..
The USB has no battery drain - to even be concerned with.. it's Not like a spinning drive or anything
