@murpheous said in Microsoft bug is changing Windows 10 Pro to Home:

It seems to be affecting insider editions. At least that is what I've seen mentioned in the various articles.

If so, a really good reason not to be a beta tester for M$

Bitdefender makes a good one.

Rower85 said to do this...

Open Run and type "Diskpart"
type "LIST VOLUME"
note witch volume number that you want to autoassign on boot

Create a textfile on C:\ named: diskpart.txt
Put this in the textfile:
select volume "drive number"
assign letter="drive letter to assign"
(in the " " brackets, input your stuff, also you do not need the "")

Open Run and type notepad
Put this in:
diskpart /s c:/diskpart.txt
click File > Save As...
locate C:\ and change File Name to "diskpart.bat" then change Save as type: to All Files and press Save

Now go to Task Scheduler in the Admin section on the Control panel.
Make a new folder in the "Windows" sub folder named "Diskpart"
rightclick the "Diskpart" folder
click "Create Basic Task..."
name it to "Diskpart" and click "Next >"
select "When the computer starts" click "Next >"
select "Start a program" click "Next >"
click "Browse..."
select the "Diskpart.bat" file you saved on C:, click "Next >"
select "Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish" click "Finish"
Properties should come up, now select "Run with highest privileges"
click "OK"

Problem is that the volume names are changing as well.

And I wasn't a massive douche-bag about it.

But were there like 5 replies saying the same thing so people could post nonsense to get points?

I have a server with only 2 USB ports. OS is Windows Server 2016 STD.

Since I need more than that to plug in external usb drives I purchased a USB powered hub.

It's been working fine for a long time, however just recently after a reboot the drive letters are changing from what they are manually assigned in Disk Management and even the name of the volume is changing.

I have read about clearing the drive attributes in diskpart and also the possibility of the server now detecting the USB hub as a new device each time.

Has anyone worked on this issue before and what did you do to resolve it?

Are you properly ejecting the USB drives before taking them out? I think sometimes they don't fully clear and then you have a letter conflict. I'm not 100% sure on this though..

Not removing them at all. Just after a reboot.

@Reid-Cooper said in External drive letters changing:

I presume that the drive letters are changing because the volume name is changing. The system sees a new drive, so you get a new letter.

Not sure why the volume name changes though.

@JaredBusch said in External drive letters changing:

I would assume the USB drivers were updated and caused windows to think they were "new" or something.

Yes, I agree. But even after I 'correct' it, they are still changing.

Anyone familiar or have experience with the Apache Guacamole project?

Yes, several threads on it, too.

Yep, and I learned that Fedora is not a good platform to run it on.

What is a good platform for it?
