Problema
With Removal Storage and Fixed Hard Drive rules configured and enabled, you are still able to access a connected Seagate HDD.
Causa
Windows Device Manager is not generating unique identifier information, either a VID/PID or serial number, for the HDD.
Soluzione
Based on the HDD detection in Windows Device Manager, either of the approaches below work. The changes that are made are user-based or DLP client bypass. They are user-based or DLP client bypass because a Windows Device Manager has not generated a unique VID/PID or serial number to exclude. For a permanent fix, contact Microsoft. This fix enables the Seagate HDD is detected in Universal Serial Bus Controller or a VID/PID is generated in Device Manager.
