How do "disappear" unused USB ports
This is new. Unused USB devices are showing up in the
"This PC" listing. Never happened before and I don't think I did anything (naturally!). What causes this? How can I make them go away? |

Do you have a card reader installed? If so go into control panel File explorer options and check Hide empty drives. Rene |

I changed that, rebooted, and the drives -still- show up! Good old Windows.... You could try DriveCleanup from https://www.uwe-sieber.de/drivetools_e.html If you do have a card reader, and you want to hide the empty slots, then you can use USBDLM also from Uwe Sieber: https://www.uwe-sieber.de/usbdlm_e.html Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !

How can I make them go away? Seems that it may take a combination of settings to get what you want: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-files/file-explorer-is-not-hiding-empty-usb-drives/96b30c80-02ea-46c8-ae1a-78d820f6ea1a I wasn't annoyed by the empty USB drives showing in "This PC" as much as I was in seeing them in my "SendTo" drop-down menu, and the solution in the Answers forum took care of that, too. Empty CD/DVD drives still show in the right-hand pane, along with my Virtual Clone Drives. I can live with that :-) -- SC Tom |

Do you have a card reader installed? If so go into control panel File explorer options and check Hide empty drives. Rene There's a built-in card reader and five 'native' USB ports. Two are ancient USB3. The reader does not show up as an unused device. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |
