[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1162613, member: 74879"] A quick search reveals that this seems to be a quite common Windows problem. Solutions that I have tried: [LIST] [*]Manually reconnect the receiver - [COLOR=#00b300][B]WORKING [/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000](but not practical)[/COLOR] [LIST] [*]Disconnect and reconnect the receiver restores functionality [*][USER=110900]@RicoHTPC[/USER] has reported that disconnecting and reconnecting [I]any[/I] USB device restores the receiver functionality [/LIST] [*]Some people reported that plugging a passive USB hub between the PC and the receiver helped - [B][COLOR=#ff0000]NOT WORKING[/COLOR][/B] (for me) [*]Applying Windows problem solution to the devices -[B][COLOR=#ff0000] NOT WORKING[/COLOR][/B] (for me) [LIST] [*]Under Win 10 the problem solver can be applied to devices in general but not to the eHome receiver in particular. [*]In my case it gives the message that some changes were done and a restart of the computer is required. It does not seem to help though. [/LIST] [*]Registry Tweaks [LIST] [*]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Executive Change the value of [B]AdditionalCriticalWorkerThreads [/B]to 2 -[B] [COLOR=#ff0000]NOT WORKING[/COLOR][/B] [/LIST] [*]Use special software to deactivate and reactivate devices at startup/resume - [B]TO BE TESTED[/B] [LIST] [*]Microsoft offers [I]DevCon.exe[/I], which allows extended control of devices. A solution to the problem above that was using devcon.exe was already posted some time back in the German section of the MP forum [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/problem-ger%C3%A4te-bei-wake-up-deaktivieren-und-wieder-aktivieren.88620/']here[/URL] [*]Unfortunately this little tool can't be only be downloaded separately but is part of larger Windows packages such as the Driver Kit (WDK), Visual Studio or the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK). [/LIST] [/LIST] The last option looks very promising. Did anybody by chance download one of the kits and could provide me devcon.exe for further testing? [/QUOTE]
