WD Elements automatically disconnecting and reconnecting in Windows 10

I am using WD elements 2TB since last 3 years. Until Win8, it was working fine, but now on Win10, it is automatically disconnecting and reconnecting on usb3.0 port.

I have tried disabling USB selective suspend setting, unchecked “Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power” from device manager, changed some registry settings but nothing is working.

Please help me on this issue, I am not able access my HDD.

Hi,

Did you try connecting the drive to a different USB port or with a different USB cable?
