My on-line Internet computer's Win 10 Pro updated a couple of days ago.  Today I went to use my USB hub and it didn't work.  I checked all of my USB ports and they didn't work.  I went into the device manager and found out that the update turned on the power safer option in power management.  I had them all turned off, i.e. unchecked prior to the update.  Thus I had to uncheck that option in each of my USB hubs.  This may have been an anomaly but I thought that I should pass this info on in case anyone else has an USB problem.

Some updates will cause power management to be re-enabled for USB root hubs.
After a major update, I'd check your privacy settings as well (background apps, etc)...

Thanks, Jim for the truth!..I knew ABOUT IT, and said so, and Got banned for doing it my way....And a lot of post taken down for saying it and warning people....Interesting eh?..But coming from you Jim, makes it true what I said?...ah...resetting settings for us, in good trust.?..How nice of MS to have such freedom to screw up peoples lives, or machines and use there of...Eh?..and keep them with their heads in boxes that do not do, what they were setup for, or said does do, or can be done with....How many liars made because of that and ULA violation of licence paid to use, under those terms said it works with...Eh?.....Perhaps to sell more Tech support tickets and remote viewings is the key to some pineapple Pillar to riches being taught the new born? ...Not be totally out of the spying eyes grip, or hold over in no trust, to need to spy on all users of, but ask we trust them, not being trustworthy to let setups be left as is, so roll backs and such need not be mandated....Oh they do sometimes make a roll back when installing new updates....But if it burns out the machine....What good is that?......lol...
 
Hmmm apples in the garden with a acoustic guitar, and some congas is sweet freedom!...Sow the seeds, till the soil, be good over and upon the living...Makes life last more so sweet, a good deed done to see clear blue skies, and some rain to make things grow proper, and some shared so , gains a better view of the truths be fortold!...Of the lies and liars who make people not do...what should be done by all.....wasting time, with troubles no one wants, always fixing and being mislead with more and more to buy buy, and tech support paid for...Just makes it one sided, until it is not!
 
 
Best wishes, and regards!..with cheers...for the witnessing!
 
 
Sir Les.

I have the Windows Insider advanced versions.  A new version always resets (enables) Fast Start. It doesn't touch my "High Performance" power plan or the "Power and Sleep" settings.  I haven't noticed anything else, although with the Insider versions other than disabling fast start and the power plan I mentioned I don't do much customizing.  It should be noted the Insider versions are not getting full "new Windows OS" with the updates, its using the new Microsoft update procedure that only downloads what needs updating, not the entire OS.  
 
Updates such as the "Creator's Upgrade" basically installed a new Windows 10 and some customization will be lost.   Be prepared for it again in Oct (17th) when the "Fall Creator's Upgrade" is released.  But this next upgrade will not be a whole new Windows, it will use the new Microsoft procedure that only upgrades what it needs to, not everything.  This also shortens the downloaded file size (and the resultant speed up of the download and actual time for the PC to do the upgrade).
 
It should be noted Sonar Platinum, MOTU896Mk3 Hybrid, Behringer X-Touch and my Frontier Tranzport all run perfectly under the Insider's versions, and the lastest version is mostly the Fall Creator's Upgrade" as the welcome screen after the last upgrade stated "Welcome to the Fall Creator's Upgrade".
 
 
 
 

Since the last Win10 'update' to 1709 I had been having intermittent non-functioning of my installed USB hubs on my desktop.  Sometimes the iLok would be there, most times not.  It almost seemed that the hubs themselves were malfunctioning, or perhaps even the PCIe slots on the motherboard werent funcitoning.  I turned off the Power Management option on all of them, but that didn't help.  Then  I found a thread stating that the 'Fast Start' option on Win10 would sometimes interfere with the USB ports being activated.  Sure enough when I went in and disabled the 'Fast Start,' all of the hubs were recognized and working as expected.  Here is how to find the 'Fast Start' as the Win 10 search couldn't find it:
 
Disable/Enable quick boot Windows 10
1 Type Control Panel in the search box.
2 Click Control Panel.
3 Type Power Options.
4 Click Choose what the power buttons do.
5 Click Change settings that are currently unavailable.
6 Scroll down to Shutdown settings and uncheck Turn on fast startup.
Click Save changes.
 
 

If Fast Start is enabled, Win10 uses a Hybernate File to boot faster.
That can cause a multitude of issues (especially if you're dual-booting).

I always just disable hibernate.

I disable Hibernate as well...
If Fast Start is enabled, Win10 will use a Hibernate File... without your knowledge/input.  
Seen it cause bizarre symptoms in a dual-boot scenario.  Data disappearing, etc.
 

I am still learning Win10 and not gone through all the settings yet. I need to disable my Fast Start for sure.

Is there a good resource anyone knows of to check in Win10 for DAW use?

This is a good place to start >>> https://www.sweetwater.co...-guide-for-windows-10/
 
Here's another one I ran across.  Haven't studied it in-depth yet, but looks good >>> https://confluence.mergin...#content/view/17203497
