My pc used to "go to sleep" without any issue.
latly ive install my windows on protable ssd drive, and since then "Sleep" is shutting down pc.
the option "sleep" is visible but it's actually shutting down the pc.

BTW: when i restart my pc through the internal drive (m.2 drive which is on motherboard) sleep mode is possible.
both win versions are 20H2
 
Is there anyway to put pc on sleep mode while windows is running on usb ssd?

Hi, I encounter the problem that my WinToUSB Windows 10 (1903) won't stay in sleep - it automatically wakes up after a few seconds.
When I check with "powercfg -lastwake" I can see that it is caused by the xHCI (USB 3.0 host controller) where the USB drive is connected.

Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks.

Just want to be sure about the 2-computer limit for WinToUSB Pro.  I take this to mean two installations.  I can put one registered copy of WinToUSB on a USB drive and the other copy of the software on a computer, both in the same household.  Correct?

Trying to install Windows 10 on an External HDD, tried on a mac using VMWare Fusion(with windows), and on a windows 10 laptop too, always with the same error. User log in attachments.

I am aware of the procedure to clone an existing Win 10 USB to another disk as backup, but have a question.  I have enabled the hard disk of the host computer in my existing USB.  Should this be disabled before creating a new clone or might the software do this automatically?

When using an ISO as an image file in WinToUSB and selecting Home edition, the following error is received (see attached) 


Note this Microsoft developer ISO contains other images of Windows 10, however I am selecting the Home edition. 
Tried with Windows 10 versions: 1809, 1903, 2004

Hello, so I've been trying to get a Windows 8.1 Pro WinToUSB portable hard drive (Sandisk 1TB portable hard drive) to work with my laptop but when trying to run on my laptop, it says "A disk read error occurred Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart". It works just fine on my main PC (in fact, I am using it rn). The hard drive is an MBR drive, which was recommended by this post: Hasleo Software Forums - Disk read error (easyuefi.com) but MBR still doesn't work. On the laptop, Windows is installed as a GPT but when I try to use GPT with WinToUSB, I get an ACPI error and when searching it up, it says to allow the program through an anti virus or remove the program, yet when I did it, it still errored out. I have tried everything, googling everywhere, resetting the BIOS on the laptop but it just won't boot! Could the fact that it is a Hackintosh using Clover device affect it? I am genuinely out of ideas at this point.

Hello,

i saw in the changelog that some releases specifically add support for a new version of windows (e.g. for example version 5.8 add support for windows 20H2).

What kind of improvement are done to the sofware with these new version (for example 5.8) compared to the previous ones (for example 5.6) for the process of cloning an existing windows 20H2 installation? 

The improvements are confined to the wintousb software itself or some improvement are also applied to the resulting cloned portable Windows?

Thanks

I have used WinToUSB to clone Windows 10 home to an external SSD with USB 3.0. I find overall performance to be superior to that of the computer from which it was cloned  Initial bootup is much quicker, as is waking from “sleep.”  Also, it feels like there does not seem to be as much background junk going on. The clone USB seems equally as speedy on a different computer from which it was cloned. I would like to understand why this is happening. My imagination?  Any thoughts?

Hi
I'm trying to install windows to go on a SanDisk Extreme PRO USB 3.1 256GB Drive
WinToUSB Does not report any errors however when I boot the USB it shows a Black blank screen no windows logo, nothing

Please help I'm very confused
