These show up on Device Manager as:

Disk Drives: as Generic USB SD Reader, CF Reader, xD/SM Reader and MS REader

and under

Portable Devices as E:\ through H:\

Device Status shows as Device Working Properly

Before you ask: earlier today I ran

sfc /scannow

Dism/Online/Cleanup-Image/RestoreHealth

full scan Windows Defender

full scan Malwarebytes

NO new hardware or software since Windows 8.1 upgrade

all Windows Updates

Any help would be appreciated as I slowly go through the MULTIPLE Event Logs caused by my recent UPGRADE to Windows 8.1

    Your reply is bloviated. You did not help towards a solution and you are obviously a Microsoft cheerleader. This is an issue that causes millions of people problems because of automatic reboots and BSODs. If you cannot help the situation you should avoid it.

    Here is a link that will help - you can sue Microsoft for the wasted time that it causes in your life. Believe me after supporting Microsoft products for over 20 years and seeing the many reboots - incessant BSODs - they owe me about half a million dollars for wasted hours and my time!

    It does not seem to cause any problems setting it to automatic but it does not remain set.  I do not know why.

    I having this issue on a Win 10 machine.

    The  "Windows Driver Foundation ... " is set to  "Manual (trigger start)"

    Could it cause any harm to set it to automatic?

    I had no problems with windows 10 until the last update, since then I can't run incredimail and my Dell crashes about 10 minutes after starting.

    Thanks for your intuitive reply. I have been fighting with this problem and am about ready to throw my Dell Experiment in the trash. The only thing left to do is an exorcism, will let you know if it works.
