Windows 10: IoGetDeviceProperty returns empty string for DevicePropertyFriendlyName on Windows 10 Pro...

This property that fetches the friendly name for removable USB storage media by calling IoGetDeviceProperty with DevicePropertyFriendlyName is broken in Windows 10 Pro x64 2004 19041.329. Earlier versions of Windows 10 are fine.


Is this a known problem? Is there a fix available?


Thanks

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

ordering strings alphanumerically

You don't loop it, it does via .Sort(IComparer). In my example, it would like like...
Code: List<string> list = new List<string>(); list.Add("2"); list.Add("1"); list.Add("0"); //sort it OffsetLengthPairComparer comparer = new OffsetLengthPairComparer(); list.Sort(comparer);[/quote] Obviously my comparer doesn't work for strings because it is for a custom type but, you get the idea.
