Any problems with Kobo devices on USB? That's not the only problem. There are LOADS of problems; one of them being that a setup consisting of a solid state drive + hard drive is (on some computers) handled incorrectly; at random times, the hard disk will be bombarded by requests (for some unknown reason), which puts the drive at 100% usage. And I mean, 100%, to the max. As soon as you do anything that accesses the hard drive, that process will hang.

That's the one problem I have issues with at the moment.

The computer has been completely unusable because of this, for the last two weeks or so, since I installed the anniversary update. They even have thread on their community forum where they post updates, and request users to send logs and system configurations.

Yesterday, I did receive a fairly huge cumulative update; it took 15 minutes to install, on a new laptop. It's a bit more than a year old, running the fastest mobile CPU available at the time of buying it (Januari 2016), and it runs the operating system from an SSD. If such a system takes 15 minutes to install an update, it's monstrously large.

The update docs do state that it fixes "reliability and compatibility" in a lot of areas, so I hope this update fixes that hard disk problem.

They need to get us some options here.
They have been taking options and control *out* of Windows since Windows 8 in many area's, updates being one of them.
