Alright! As much as I believe this problem to be much more common, so far I found No solutions to it.

I had installed Windows fresh on USB SSD as my Nvme SSD apparently died, coincidentally after a Windows Update. It got formatted, empty, and now I can't install Windows to it either, but that's a totally separate issue I rather not get into for the sake of this one.

Windows operates fast, responsively, as it should on SSD, however, when I put my Windows to sleep, or shut it down, it always starts with Automatic Repairs, forcing me to wait much longer to boot into windows, and I don't think that the whole system blinking out of existence is healthy for it, either.

I Unchecked "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" on every USB hub in Device Manager, to no avail.

Thanks for reading, I'm hoping to solve this conundrum as soon as possible!

EDIT: Just in case, the SSD is ; Samsung PSSD T7 Touch SCSI Disk Device

I don't remember there being an option to keep USB power on, there could be though! Time to check.

Also, I rather not purchase an internal SSD if I can help this one. The current one functions very well, so I don't see a point to fork out another ~$100.
 
To my experience, Windows detects a fault on the drive (and maybe there is) and it doesn't do anything if you let Windows scan for errors and repair. Maybe someone could suggest a tool that would do a better job? I haven't found one.

What I think is happening, is for some reason, once Windows is on shutdown/sleep, the USB SSD turns off Completely, as its blue glow around the lock button disappears. I speculate that the system active on it, was 'abruptly' cut of power supply, and that told Windows that it was improper shutdown, therefore Automatic Repairs are in order.

Yes, haha. That's my only bootable drive on the computer, anyway. So far I had to deal with the Automatic-Repair startups over and over again, but it doesn't seem to have done damage, as much as chkdsk and sfc /scannow are concerned. No data loss observed yet.
