USB (A:\) floppy drive won't refresh it's contents when switching floppies in Windows 10 Anniversary 1607

Hello. I have a USB device that can read old 3.5 floppy disks - assigned to A:\ - and every time I switch floppies. It won't refresh when I put a new one in there and still has the previous content from the other floppy. It doesn't happen w/ Windows 10 1511. It does happen w/ 1607 a/k/a the Anniversary Update. The only way I can get the USB floppy to refresh it's contents is to unplug and plug it back in. Microsoft can you fix this in a future update please? Thanks.

This guy has the same problem as me. I'll post a link of his. http://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/62926-usb-floppy-disks-not-auto-reading.html

My Windows 10 version is 1607 (OS Build 14393.222)

Seeing a customer with this exact same issue on Win10 / 1607 (14393.222).  Unfortunately an old printing press machine requires the use of floppy disks as a data input mechanism, so we can't just use a USB stick.  Hopefully a fix will come with next monthly update next Tuesday.

Hi Dustin,

To resolve your concern, follow the steps below:

1.  Search for regedit, and then press Enter.
2.  Click on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
3.  Go to System.
4.  Click on CurrentControlSet.
5.  Go to Control.
6.  Select Class.
7.  Look for {4d36e980-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}.
8.  Check if there is an UpperFilter or LowerFilter on the content.
9.  Right click on the filter, and then press Delete.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

Due to the complexity of your concern, we suggest that you post this at TechNet forum.

Does NOT work !!!!

Several keys with same name {4d36e980-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}

few of them have UpperFilterS or LowerFilterS and one had both UpperFilters and LowerFilters, tried deleting one by one - NO GOOD.

managed to crash my system because of it.....

Thanks Microsoft for managing to screw up AGAIN.... some of us still use floppy drives !!!
