    Hello Pius,

    Can you provide some basic info so we can try to help, for example:

    • Is this SafeGuard Enterprise / Easy?
    • What version are you using: 6.10 / 7.0 / 8.0?
    • What is the OS on the client?
    • BitLocker or Full Disk Encryption?
    • If it's FDE have you tried the hotkeys to disable USB 3.0?

    Hello Toby

    We use SafeGuard Enterprise

    Version: 7.00.0.97

    OS: Windows 7

    Full Disk Encryption.

    I tried the hotkeys but there was no hotkey for USB 3.0

    Best Regards

    Pius

    Hello Pius,

    If you check out https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/107781 there are a few for USB support:

    • Shift + F3 = switch USB Legacy support (Off/On)
    • Shift + F5 = switch USB support (Off/On)
    • Shift + F7 = switch USB 2.0 support (Off/On)

    You may also need to press the Function key (Fn key) if your machine has one.

    Hi Toby

    It doesn't work with the hot keys. Do you have any other ideas.

    Hi,

    sounds like the issue with skylake and the missing Support for XHCI by Sophos... I am in contact with them since early february to get this fixed...

    Hello Pius,

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

    I had a quick look at the CPU options for this machine and unfortunately they're all SkyLake CPUs:

    Intel® Core™ i7-6600U with Intel HD Graphics 520 (2.6 GHz, up to 3.4 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 4 MB cache, 2 cores)
    Intel® Core™ i7-6500U with Intel HD Graphics 520 (2.5 GHz, up to 3.1 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 4 MB cache, 2 cores)
    Intel® Core™ i5-6300U with Intel HD Graphics 520 (2.4 GHz, up to 3 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)
    Intel® Core™ i5-6200U with Intel HD Graphics 520 (2.3 GHz, up to 2.8 GHz with Intel Turbo Boost Technology, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)
    Intel® Core™ i3-6100U with Intel HD Graphics 520 (2.3 GHz, 3 MB cache, 2 cores)

    With this in mind you're likely to suffer these issues when running Windows 7 on that machine as it's far too old. The best option I can recommend is to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro to gain support for that CPU and then encrypt with SafeGuard and BitLocker.
