Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You have a computer that has multiple processors and that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
-
You use an USB device on the computer.
In this scenario, the USB device intermittently disconnects and then reconnects. When this problem occurs, the USB device is re-enumerated.Note If the device is a USB wireless networking device, the network connection is dropped and then reconnected.
Cause
This occurs because of a race condition in the USB driver when the operating system concurrently processes a request to resume from selective suspend and a request to disable wake on device connect. When the issue occurs, an unexpected USB bus reset is sent to the USB device driver. This causes the device to be removed and therefore a new device arrival notification and reinitialization occurs for the device. During this time, the USB device may disappear and reappear.

-
The files that apply to a specific product, milestone (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:
Version
Product
Milestone
Service branch
6.1.760 0.16xxx
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
RTM
GDR
6.1.760 0.20xxx
Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2
RTM
LDR
-
GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, very important issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.
-
The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows Server 2008 R2 and for Windows 7" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are very important to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
