[Leica] Windows 10 Annoyance

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram)]

OK.  Try this:

Windows USB are set to be disabled if idle to save power, you can disable 
this function by going to
Control Panel
Device Manager
Universal Serial Bus controllers (expend this)
You should see a list of Generic USB Hub
Right click on each one of them and select Properties | Power Management and 
uncheck the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power

See if that works.

I do have a Drobo drive, but it's fine.  It's the drives in the ProBoxes
that are sleeping.  I will search their sites for help.

Thanks,

Tina
