content: Native English speakers don't read it either. In any event, I don't know why it would matter.I have a Surface Book running Win 10 and a 7 port + 3 charger powered USB hub from Anker and it has always worked just fine.https://www.amazon.com/Anker-10-Port-Transfer-PowerIQ-Charging/dp/B00VDVCQ84/ref=sr_1_1I was also using this Amazon Basics Hub on a Win 10 box but I gave it to my wife for her Surface PRO:https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Port-USB-Power-Adapter/dp/B00DQFGJR4/ref=sr_1_1Which hub are you using?

content: I read the Windows 10 agreement and it convinced me to stick with Windows 7 and to start switching machines over to Linux.If you're one of those people that don't give a fat rat about privacy or other people having access to your digital existence, and don't care if Microsoft has near total control over your devices and data, then reading it would probably have been a waste of time. Otherwise you might want to do some reading.https://www.google.com/search?q=windows+10+agreement

content: Quote from: Tomorokoshi on August 31, 2016, 05:35:10 pmInteresting article! The author obviously gets paid by the word...There is just no way that Microsoft can test against ALL of the possible peripherals. Even the 'insiders' don't have all possibilities. There will be problems at the borders.OP, are you using the power adapter? I wouldn't expect an overload on the USB port to crash the system but I haven't tested every system.The addition of the Windows Subsystem For Linux is a great feature of the new 'anniversary' edition of Win 10.

content: Maybe you just got a reject! You would think the simplest things would work right out of the box. Does the hub work on any other computer?

content: Quote from: Halcyon on August 31, 2016, 08:14:34 pmI've plugged the hub again and taken this picture.Yes, you are so right! There are error messages and I didn't even noticed.The file bhound7.sys belongs to Perisoft's Bus Hound, I have a free version 6.01 installed on my PC.Thank you so much!!!
