Why should we fix it now?
Support forums now blamed the problem Early versions of Windows 10 in 2015, which places the problem among those that take the longest to resolve. The temporary fix was to go to the power settings of the USB device and disable the “allow this device to wake the computer” option.
Despite always bringing very complete update notes, Microsoft has not disclosed the reason for the delay. Thus, it is possible to assume two possibilities. First, it was probably a kernel level issue, deeper than the USB interface.
However, the most likely cause is simply it was not an urgent issue or a problem causing instability and system crashes. In this way, the priority queue of Windows fixes was constantly being reallocated.
