USB thumb drive delays in mounting.
After the computer is freshly booted, the 1st time I mount a USB thumb drive it will take 20 seconds to appear in the "Computer" window. It will instantly appear in the device manager along with the audio tone that signals it has been connected; but I still have to wait 20 seconds before I can see or access it. Thereafter, connecting any USB device will mount without delay until the computer is re-started. The delay only happens the first time I insert a USB drive after starting the computer. This started last October. I tried SFC, virus scans, a 'clean-boot' and none of those helped . It's particularly annoying when I raise the lid of my USB scanner and have to wait 20 secs before I can scan something. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
