Windows 10: Random USB mass storage device keeps dis & re connecting even though I don't have a USB...

Hello,There is this USB Mass Storage device that I don't have, and appeared out of nowhere that keeps reconnecting and disconnecting. It used to only happen while I am playing a game for a while. but now it is constant. I have tried to uninstall the driver, yet it reappears after restart.Another thing, I don't know if this has any correlation, but after it started, my computer would get stuck in the Graphics Manufacturer screen and requires a shut down and restart to work properlyThank you in advance, and I'll gladly give some extra information if needed.

how to change "USB attached SCSI mass storage device" to "USB mass storage device"

Hi there:

I have a Seagate USB portable drive and I mainly use it to connect to my ASUS Oplay! media player to watch the content on TV.

This device use to be an USB mass storage device.

Recently, I noticed whenever I eject my seagte portable drive, the device is showing as ""USB attached SCSI mass storage device" instead of a regular "USB mass storage device". This is when my media player stopped recognising the portable drive (showing
the device is not supported). The portable drive works fine on my Windows 10 PC, just not recognising by my media player anymore.

Wondering if anyone can point out how I can restore my portable hard drive back to a generic USB mass storage device instead of being a "USB attached SCSI mass storage device".

Thank you.
