If we are to assume win32 still reads Supermium topic, probably better to post there, in Supermium topic, who knows maybe he will fix it, then. I already linked to a possible fix. https://msfn.org/board/topic/185045-supermium/?do=findComment&comment=1264207

Hello and welcome to Austria!

My guess is you'd need a natively DX12 supported GPU, as it bypasses to DX12 directly.

Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales v1.1116.0.0 This game requires window 10 version 1909 (build 18363) or even later.

Hot Wheels Unleashed 2 Turbocharged needs Windows 10

"it speeds up A LOT the browser" https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/514

The Chrome engine is bloated, it's no surprise, DDR4 improves the situation. Very little the they can do.

I don't use the kernel, I did, but locally (it wasn't installed into the system). Neither Thorium, nor Supermium need it.

Thank you.

Hardware specs? I don't observe this on an el-cheapo Pentium G3470 (bought for 5 Euros).

uBlock has quite some settings to prevent Chrome's malicious behaviour, for example - block remote fonts, CSP reports, disable pre-fetching (to prevent any connection for blocked network requests), disable hyperlink auditing, etc.

If this fix really works, why do you need USB Safely Remove, then? What for?

Chrome 109 from 2022 might be too old. Works fine for me on 119.

Link?

But not a word about Vista, nor Win 10/11.

In Vista eSata can also be powered down.

Is this triple posting glitch back again?

The article is obviously old, it was a glitch in SP1, in RTM and SP2 - they do.

So, try to exit "USB Safely Remove", block it from running, reboot and try to eject the HDD.

My thoughts exactly! That user even made a dedicated topic with pushing that agenda. link

I can speak to whether Microsoft fixed this DESIGN FLAW with Vista, I had already answered. It was never there, to begin with. Looks like they implemented that "design" starting Win 7 (which I can't stand!). Strange! Weren't you the one who had recently upgraded? Allegedly.

In my experience, all those memory "saving features", including this one, and the infamous "refresh" only consume more RAM. https://github.com/win32ss/supermium/issues/507#issuecomment-2071376972

It sounds more like a bug, what other tools did you try, interesting?

Most likely it depends on the outer box maker. I use this Philips on the image below, it does power down with other USB tools, including Vista's built in, but you wouldn't know, would you? Somewhere in 2006-2007 Philips launches the World's First 1TB External HDD, I bought several ones at once, some of them where upgraded to another HDD sizes, like 2TB, but the boxes are the same, made by Philips, all aluminium.
