External Hard Drive Won't Mount Until Windows Restart

Parallels 11.2.2
Windows 10 Pro ISO

I've had this issue for about a year and just decided to post. I can't find anything similar to my problem.

When I first start Windows, my external drives will mount fine. After my computer goes to sleep a few times, my Hard Drives won't mount inside of windows. I can mount them inside of my Mac and view them but this is causing some issues with software I am running in Windows. Once I restart, all is good but that is also getting annoying.

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Paul,

Thanks for the response. Reinstalled Parallels Tools with no success. When I go to Configuration, I don't get the option for Keep Running On The Background. Here are the options I have:

 

Hi, please try these steps:
Parallels Desktop tab -> performance -> Devices -> Ask me what to do.

 

Let us know the results please.

 

That is already selected.

Are you saying to turn pausing off?

 

Exactly! Please turn off the pausing & check if that helps.
