UCyborg Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I don't recall Windows 7 not powering down USB device on eject. Maybe it was some strange chipset driver? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 (edited) Win7 required a registry hack to power down the USB port when the device connected to that port was "removed" via built-in removal. Google it, hundreds of articles on it. Here is but one of them -- https://winaero.com/fix-usb-device-remains-active-after-you-safely-eject-it-in-windows-7-or-windows-8/ Here is another -- https://www.groovypost.com/howto/windows-safely-remove-usb-devices-power-off/ Edited April 24 by NotHereToPlayGames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 17 minutes ago, Dixel said: Link? Second post on this page (page 2). Whether this is SP1, RTM, SP2, or whatever is unknown on my end. All I can tell you is that ALL of our factory machines that run Win7 or higher had this "feature" where if our maintenance crew unplugged a USB camera "thinking" that they knew what they were doing, our entire assembly line went down! It's also a corporate environment that the updates are performed by Singapore IT, no matter what country the factory floor sits in, it is Singapore IT that controls the updates. Updates were "rolled" in a very systematic process. Updates are technically "tested" by NOT rolling them out to the entire factory floor "all at once". This Win7 "feature" is an issue REGARDLESS of what rollout phase our updates are at. And yeah, just as our maintenance crew might "think" they know what they are doing, I will say the same for our Singapore IT department! Point is, ALL of our Win7 machines do NOT power off the USB port when the device plugged into that port is "removed". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 You need to ask our Singapore IT "professionals" for the answer to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
