USB Icon Auto Change

Question

Hi, just now when I start using my laptop, I notice that the "Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media" the icon change from USB to Hub/Server icon.

Here are the examples: When USB Thumb drive plugin 

Before Icon on the USB Drive (D:)

After refresh, the icon change into a Server/Hub icon.

May I ask is there something wrong with my computer? Because I run my antivirus on my drives, it's all clean, and no problem on my computer. Thank you.

Answer 1

If you'll read my posts I referred the OP to Feedback Hub which is how the developers have asked MVP's and Moderators (of which I am most both of long-standing) to submit such bugs.  If MVP's want help escalate then we are additionally asked to expedite the Feedback with your MVP badge.  This actually does something other than taking potshots in the forums at those who work hardest here to help others. 

Disparaging others is a violation of the CofC.  Any further posts not replying to the OP on topic with additional help will be removed.

@miguel: I confirm your 'It*'s a bug ...' - see my answer at https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/my-usb-drives-shows-either-as-a-generic-device-or/6e817b6d-8698-49d5-aa43-7e8a2042e47b - where I linked a blog post with further investigations. I've escalated the thread linked there and asked to forward it to the developers. Hope this helps

Thanks. I also replied to that thread, showing where the problem resides.

Why do specialists feel the need to "help" as many people as they can, even if their answers aren't related to the problem at all? Is this a contest of "who answers more questions, wins"? Greg is still advising OP to to do things that won't help this problem at all.

It's a bug, OP doesn't need to do anything, he has to wait for microsoft to fix it.

There are some things that "fix it", like restoring windows to a previous date, but the problem comes back as soon as the user opens "Devices and Printers" and triggers another metadata request.
