I suppose I could live with unplugging and replugging every morning, but it would nice to have it working correctly. This does not happen on a warm boot (restart) or when I wake the computer from sleep. Interestingly, if I unplug the USB cable I hear the tone telling me I've unplugged, and then when I plug it back in the power light comes on, windows recognizes it, the device manager name changes to 'Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller 1.0 (Microsoft)', and all proceeds as normal.

Tried updating the driver, but it says my driver is up to date (date on driver is 8-17-2015, version 0.16461). When I open Properties it says the device is working properly, but it doesn't show in File Explorer, my daily backup to it won't work (I'm using the Windows Backup), and the power light stays off. In the device manager I see the yellow triangle and get the 'device descriptor request failed' error msg. When I boot up in the morning, my Seagate Backup Plus USB 3 external desktop drive is not recognized. It is a software utility that will find the right driver for you - automatically.

Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Driver Update Utility for Lenovo. Been working on this a little more.no solution yet, but more info: I was running 7 on my Lenovo Y580, and upgraded to 10 on 8/31. Device name - Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller Device name in the Device Manager - Intel(R) USB 3.0.
