I have a startech 4 bay docking station which I use on my win 10 PC, every now and again windows can not see it, even though it is never disconected.
When this happens I can not see it in disc management, nor explorer. In device manager there is USB mass storage device. I know there is nothing wrong with any of the hard drives in the docking station.
I have resovled the promblem quite a few times by uninstalling the USB mass storage device in device manager, but the problem keeps coming back. I have even had windows loose the docking bay while I am using my PC, telling me it can no longer write the the hard drives, so I know it's not a start up problem.
Another problem I have is trying to uninstall the USB mass storage device in device manager Most of the times I uninstall it the green uninstall line hardly moves from the start of the box, I have to restart and do it again untill the green line moves along the uninstall box, I have had to do the uninstall process 20 or 30 times, which can take over a hour to do, untill it's uninstalled properly.
After I manage to uninstall the USB mass storage device properly the hard drives show up for a week or 2 before windows can't find them again.
