Infrequently, Windows 11 indicates that the connection has been broken between an encrypted USB stick 256GB.
After the so-manieth time locking up, windows indicates "D:\ The directory name is invalid." even after a restart of Windows 11.
So now there is a 'left over' on the computer that does leads to Windows indicating this.
The placement of the left-over is not known.
Even with an other USB stick of 512GB, Windows indicates the same.
When removing/uninstalling VC from the computer, Windows asks the User to have VC halted, or it can do it for the User automatically.
Ergo, Windows did not properly shut down VC.
Windows does allow for a new install.
The encrypted containers (the USB-Sticks) are not affected by the abrupt 'disconnect'.
The system appears to be stable @ this point, but that does not indicate anything...
The unexplained USB disconnects could be due to your power settings that allow the USB ports to be powered-down.
Windows Setting > System > Power & Sleep > Additional power settings
This will open a new window, "Click on Change advanced power settings". See attached screenshot.
