    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    Incidentally, I replaced BitDefender Free with Kaspersky Security Cloud - Free. It was a blessing since it turns out that I actually like Kaspersky better BitDefender.

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    They stopped offering it for download at the end of 2021. They are giving a 6 month grace period to switch out before they shut it down for those who already have it installed. Sucks. What do you think I should replace it with? Avast, Kaspersky, Avira?

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    I am both cursing like mad and joyously praising your name. Literally. If anyone could hear me they would think me quite mad. Yes. I have bitdefender free installed. I just uninstalled it and the problem went away, like it was just a dream. Well, I was going to be uninstalling it before June...

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    Neither of those worked. At least the parts I could try. INFCACHE.1 isn't there in Windows 10.

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    That program confirms that it is indeed ubstor.inf Incidentally disabling/enabling or uninstalling it with that program does not help. Is there really no utility that will remove unused processes from memory? Or maybe there is another more complete way to uninstall the driver so that it can...

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    That was amazing! Best driver download page EVER! It updated several drivers according to my Service Tag. (Audio Driver, System BIOS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, Graphics) Unfortunately that did not solve my problem. :( Can anyone figure out how to at least figure out what driver is stuck in memory...

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    I did what you said and it did not help: That sounded promising, but it didn't solve the problem. Just to make sure, I then rebooted and it still didn't solve the problem. Thanks anyway. Do you have any other suggestions? Is there any way to see what processes are in memory and remove them...

    Question Can only plug in USB drive once per reboot ?

    When I plug a USB drive into my PC it works fine. Until I unplug it. When I plug it back in later, the drive won't work. Pluging in any USB drive will not work now. It simply will not recognize that there is a drive. Bringing up the Device Manager explains it. The "USB Mass Storage Device" has...
