    External Hard drive shuts down Windows 10


    Hi
    Ever since the anniversary update, for some reason, when I unplug my external hard drive Windows 10 decides to close down, not crash, as it politely tells me it is shutting down. I use the 'eject external usb/hard drive etc' button and wait for the safely eject comment. How can I eject the hard drive without Windows closing please?

    :)

  2. Stuck on the shutdown screen

    I have a hp laptop running windows 10, i have no idea the make maybe an evy but not really sure.
    It shut down properly and when i opened it it is stuck on the shut down screen, i cannot hold the power button or cut the power as i have an external hard drive still attached (that has been installed and stuff properly, trust)
    My question is can i shut it down without corrupting the external hard drive partitions and assigned letter ect.
    I have had this issue before on several occasions and powering down fixs the laptop but corrupts the external hard drive (i know i sould of removed the hard drive before shutting, but i didn't so there) and i need the information on the external hard drive
    as this is my back-ups back-up.
    If its a simple case of 'no your going to loose all the information on it' then thats what it is...BUT if there IS a way to shut it down without powering down or taking the battery out then it would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

  3. Windows 10 external hard drive driver

    My way to make SCSI External Hard Drive work with Windows 10:

    1. Plug in SCSI Hard drive to computer ( Ex: Samsung T3, All external hard drive Seagate..)

    2. Open Device Manager ( Right Click on Windows Logo then choose Device Manager)

    3. Explore Disk Drive we will see the SCSI device with a yellow triangle.

    4. Left click to open SCSI device properties.

    5. Choose tap Driver

    6. Click Disable device.

    7. The Device Manager window will become unresponsible.

    8. Ignore this symptom then wait about 30 second.

    9. Shut down computer then UNPLUG the SCSI external hard drive AFTER the computer ready shut down. ( If Windows do not shut down we might forced it shut down)

    10. Turn On the computer then wait until it's ready stable.

    11. Plug SCSI external hard drive back to computer.

    12. Open Device Manager.

    13. Explore Disk Drive, this time we will see the SCSI device with a + inside a circle.

    14. Left click to open SCSI device properties.

    15. Choose tap Driver.

    16. Click Enable device.

    17. Now the SCSI will begin working.

    18. Before shut down the computer ALWAYS come back to the SCSI driver to Disable device so next time when we plug it in , it will work after we ENABLE DEVICE.

    the SCSI will work after we enable
