    Hi
    @galactus2021
    I guess it by design ???
    MyDrive Connect "Auto-start with my Computer" Set to OFF.....
    Win 10 (MyDrive Connect is not running)
    Plug in GO 5000, the device auto starts.....
    Turn-off the GO 5000... Click on and Run MDC... The GO 5000 does NOT Auto-start
    Fix... Press the power button or Disconnect and Reconnect the GO 5000 USB lead
    The device restarts OK....

    The only battery settings are whether to go into sleep mode when power is disconnected. I have tried both on and off but still the same result-no power on when I go into mydrive connect

    Thank you YamFazMan - works exactly as stated in your reply. Thank you so much for resolving my problem. I tried several times -both ways- and always worked as stated.
