Problem Possible Cause - Solution
Ejecting USB Devices
In order to prevent system problems do not simply directly pull cables out from the USB port when removing USB devices. Go to the
notification area of the taskbar in the Desktop app, and click on the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon. If you have quickly
unplugged a device from the USB port, and then can’t find the device when re-plugged, you will then need to restart the system in order to
find the device again.
