You would hope a driver would check for an obvious error like that, but apparently not.
New piece of gear and not enough USB ports on my laptop. Whatever software is at fault, the BSOD seems to follow a hot swap. Never had that problem with other USB devices. Happened again a few minutes ago. I plugged in the Scarlett and it did not see power from the USB port. Tried to shut down and reboot to see if that fixed it, and boom ... BSOD again.
When I leave it plugged in, it works great and sounds darn good and has some handy features. But I have a mouse, a Nuendo dongle, thumb drives, external drives. All of this USB swapping going on. Time for a USB hub for this rig. And a visit to Focusrite forum, if there is such a thing.

EDIT: Yep, the crash seems to be directly related to the audio app being open when disconnecting the Focusrite USB audio interface. At last crash I thought it was closed, but after Windows "recovered", the app was open, but minimalized.
