Why does my diskAshur
Your PC has a small bug that is called the USB Selective Suspend. This error first occurred with Windows 8 and rolled over
with Windows 10 and server 2012 R2. This bug stops the windows update service from fully installing the Vendor ID and
Product ID for the iStorage product into the windows registry. This is vital information for the registry to have and stops the
devices from disconnecting after a set amount of time.
We have contacted Microsoft about this matter and they have provided a fix for this issue. It can be downloaded directly from
