There may have been something in this code base that mucked around with the power options and related USB settings. FWIW, it’s running Build 18362.10022, which I believe is the latest Slow Ring Insider Preview release. I then imaged the HD with Macrium Reflect to an external drive. Hi, Although you cannot do an Image backup of a USB memory stick, you can do a File and Folder backup of a USB memory stick.

I am, however, relieved to find backup working properly again, and my external USB devices remaining attached and visible in Windows 10. How to safely disable Optane from the BIOS. It is not possible, currently, with Reflect.
IS MACRIUM REFLECT SAFE WITH USB PRO
I’m not sure what changed recently on my Surface Pro 3, either through Windows Updates or firmware upgrades, to break what had been working since time immemorial. I’m incredibly glad I found the right search string for this still-mysterious Power Options setting. To be on the safe side, I disabled it anyway when the unit is docked (or running off A/C power). Immediately after this change, Macrium Reflect backup completed successfully. By modifying the value for that entry from 1 (one) to 0 (zero), I got the missing setting back in Power Options. This not only drops a bunch of settings from the Power Options control panel widget, it also sets the USB selective suspend to the “on” state in an unchangeable way. It turns out that HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\CsEnabled is set to “Enabled” (value: 1) on Surface Pro PCs ( HKLM is an abbreviation for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). In researching the missing Power Options settings, I found a post from a NIC maker (ekahau) that mentioned a weird default in the Surface Pro registry setup.

products are available such as DriveImageXM元0 and Macrium Reflect.31 To. WTF? Registry Edit Key to Fixing Surface Pro 3 USB Drive Drop meets the DoD standard as well as the Peter Gutmann Secure Deletion method.

When I first dropped into Power Options, USB settings - and a bunch of other stuff - was MIA.
