[not FIXED] "MOTU Has Been Disconnected or Turned Off"??

"If you use USB2, you you'll need to use the DC power supply included with the UltraLite-mk3 Hybrid, as USB2 does not supply enough power by itself."

And not all USB3 ports are compliant with USB3 power standards, either (just as USB and USB2 ports may not be). So...sometimes you have to use a separate power source regardless of the port something is connected to.  

Similarly, the power from such a port isn't always as clean as the adapter that came with a device (though often enough the converse is true).

DC power is a given for me and I never rely on USB power if there's an option.  (The MOTU MIDI micro lite is USB only)

Sorry I always forget the obvious required info - It's the hybrid which has firewire and installs the firewire driver (as noted), but my system has no firewire so never thought it would be an issue as disconnection should relate to USB.  It'll take a few days to confirm tho.

I originally installed the latest hybrid drivers as they are the only ones updated now.  When the issue began, I tried going back to older drivers to verify or eliminate the driver.  Since then I've reinstalled the newest ones but the issue remains, so I'm still leaning toward it being a Windows update.

have you checked system files on that machine? SFC and DISM are two things to check when a system gets flaky.

Doing that now.

Iv'e used Sanitycheck, Whocrashed, and Whysoslow from resplendence to track down issues before. 

Thanks, will be checking those out too.

SFC found an repaired several files.  DISM only says it completed successfully.

During the wait I remembered we've had a couple of power outs/spikes that may have contributed some issues.
