Feature update to Windows 10 version 20H2įor those that have this same problem, after I tried all I could think of (short of restoring to a Restore Point before the forced Windows updates) I contacted Microsoft Support and it was a 'you get what you pay for', only worse, as not only did I not payĪnything for the web + phone support call, the worthless support person actually 'lost data' for me, even when he said up front 'we'll never do anything you don't want us to do'.Note: I have also installed the following, even though I was having the above mentioned problem - I hoped they would resolve

NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8 for Windows 10, version 20H2 Security Update for Adobe Flash Player: Octo(KB4580325).The only thing I can assume is one of the following Windows Updates has caused a problem, they are what has been installed since my last successful use of the USB Adapter: I have also tried updated device drivers, no joy.

Then restarted my PC, Windows obediently reinstalls everything and the same problem persists. I have even uninstalled the 'Mass Storage Device' and visible USB adapters. I know it is NOT a cable, power supply, USB port, or other common issue because I even purchased a replacement adapter, same problem. However, the USB 3.0 SATA/IDE universal adapter no longer has the ability to connect any hard drive so I can access it. It is important to note that I also have a number of external USB drives that workįine. Sadly Windows did a number of updates and I do not know which to remove to get my device working. I have a USB 3.0 SATA/IDE universal adapter that has worked for many years.
