If I run the Force Install USB (HWPnp) application it fixes both that and the USB stick as before.
The strange thing is if I have two USB drives plugged in I can switch/unplug/re-plug them all day long without issue as long as I leave one of them in. It is only if I unplug all the USB drives and then try to reinsert them that it becomes an issue. Very strange.
To be sure:SoForce Install USB (HWPnp)fix trouble ???
This gave me an idea to test:See plugin:\Downloads\ComponentsY\FakeDisk1- Click Download2- Click RefreshEnable plugin:\ComponentsY\FakeDiskmake your build,test to see if your usb stick failure fixed ?

Win8PE the USB Root hub has the "Allow Computer to turn off this device to save power" is unchecked by default. On the Win 10 PE it is checked so in theory maybe the machine is putting the hub to sleep?
I looked on the machine information page and the two project I meant to put were Win8.1se (Sorry I didn't realize there was more than one for the Win 8 generations as I built that one a while ago) and win10PESE.
login as System instead. That did resolve the USB issue,...So for a test I used the "For Testing Only" feature to login as system first and then switch to admin and the USB issue came back.
