External USB3 plugged in at Shutdown equals restart
If I leave Western Digital My Book plugged into a usb3 port at shut down there will be a restart in a few seconds.
This has been the action through both versions of Win10. (Currently on the 2nd version as of Nov.20)
At this time the only items that allow restart are mouse, keyboard and network adapter
Fast Start is turned off
An extra usb3 board was installed during the first Win10 but two usb3 items cannot be inserted side by side.
One will read as a usb2 if two are inserted into the new 2 ports in the rear.
This My Book now is the only item plugged into that back USB3 port.
The drivers for usb3 appear to be current according to the mfg site.
When this external is ejected then the computer shuts down.
On Win7 pro this external could be left plugged in all the time.
I have not found anyone else reporting this type of restart condition.
Its like a 'chicken and egg' situation. I'm just curious as to which is the first in the line of culprits?
Is a line of attack to remove this new usb (2 on front, 2 on back) and start over with another?
