    <p>Microsoft offers at least three ways to create, schedule, and manage tasks: Outlook 2016 (desktop app), the new To-Do app, and Cortana (reminders). Which do you use? Which do you recommend?</p>

    <p>On User Voice, way back on April 13, 2016, Microsoft said that they had increased the OneDrive path length limit from about 260 characters to 430 characters. But I (and others on User Voice) could not verify this on OneDrive.com. In any case, without also increasing the Windows 10 File Explorer path length limit, increasing the OneDrive path length limit would not be very useful for me. Do you know if and when Microsoft is planning to (really) increase the path length limits of Windows 10 File Explorer and OneDrive? </p>

      <blockquote><a href="#123346"><em>In reply to thea2_:</em></a></blockquote><p>If the devices work after unplugging/replugging them then it may be Power Settings for the USB controller in the computer putting them to sleep. I've seen this with some USB2.0 devices plugged into USB3.0 ports on laptops and tablets. To disable power saving: open the Device Manager &gt; Universal Serial Bus Controllers &gt; go through the all of the "Hub" devices listed &gt; Properties &gt; Power Management (tab) &gt; and un-check "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". You can also try to investigate and find out which hub the device is connected to and only change the setting for the affected hub. Depending on your system there may be upwards of 6 or more hubs listed to configure.</p>
